Joep van Liefland

Joep van Liefland (born 1966 in Utrecht) is a contemporary conceptual artist from Netherlands.

He is particularly interested in the matter of impermanence and disappearance that are closely connected to the technological progress.

Using the example of technology, Joep van Liefland addresses the process of alteration and transformation as well as the universal concepts that underlie the transition from old to new.

For his art pieces, Joep van Liefland uses various outdated distribution and storage devices.

He arranges them into space-filling installations, as in the work series „VIDEO PALACE“, or uses them to create sculptures, wall objects, screen prints, and collages.
