2015, Erik Van Lieshout's "I Am In Heaven", Art Agenda
In Work, we witness the many moments of this gifted binger's hectic life and critical conscience, as he over-shares and shreds common codes of privacy, inhaling everything in sight, in order to refashion it into commentary spoken through the persona of the artist as expulsive ego and brilliant jackass. Think Alfred Jarry meets Thomas Hirshhorn meets Emie Kovacs meets Sacha Baron Cohen after they've already attended the critical theory based Whitney Independent Study Program (which the artist did actually attend in the 1990s). Throughout Work, he talks to himself and us and everyone around him. Review from Art Agenda for Erik Van Lieshout exhibition at Anton Kern Gallery " I Am In Heaven".
