Mike Bourscheid’s sculpture and performance-based practice involves the fabrication of costumes and ungainly or ridiculous appendages, in order to channel alternate personae as a device for addressing aspects of masculinity, European pomposity, and patriarchal power.
Bourscheid represented Luxembourg at the 57th Venice Biennale in 2017, and recent exhibitions include Richmond Art Gallery (Canada), LIAR NYC (USA), and Kunstverein Heidelberg (Germany). The hand that topples the tower, a joint exhibition with Vanessa Brown, is currently showing at Centre national de l’audiovisuel (Dudelange, Luxembourg).
This lecture will reflect on how fashion, film and crafts influence Mike Bourscheid’s art practice in order for him to create his costumes, props and wearable sculptures.
