Atelier van Lieshout - Infernopolis

Summer at Boijmans This summer Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen is presenting three exhibitions by contemporary artists. Not only inside the museum, but also in a Submarine Wharf in the port of Rotterdam.

A former Submarine Wharf in the port of Rotterdam has been transformed into the largest exhibition space in the Netherlands. Atelier Van Lieshout is inaugurating this space with the spectacular exhibition Infernopolis. In the 5000m2 space Atelier Van Lieshout has created a terrifying setting in which medical instruments, vacuum pumps, silos, skulls, skeletons, and giant sperm cells and bodily organs are the main protagonists. Two enormous installations, 'The Technocrat' and 'Cradle to Cradle', are installed amid a forest of existing and new sculptures. A unique partnership between the Port of Rotterdam and Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen.

The exhibition is a major part of the official programme of Holland Art Cities 2009-2010.
