The
masterclass Luc Deleu-T.O.P. Office: Orban Space intends to investigate
the work of the Belgian architect-artist Luc Deleu within art and
architecture historical frameworks, as well as position his practice
from the 1960s onwards in a more broad social and political context. The
masterclass is also in preparation for the upcoming exhibition at
Stroom Den Haag and a new publication by Valiz Publishers, both planned
for 2012. The participating experts will all contribute to this
publication.
