Hacking Velo by Ief Spincemaille
In February I set up a temporary second atelier at the workshop of Velo, a socio-economic working place that recycles old bicycles in Leuven, Belgium. During a period of 9 months I hacked the existing production line and recycled old paintings instead of bicycles. Applying the repetitional production process of disassembling, storing and reassembling to works of art. I re-used the raw materials of the 284 recycled paintings for the recreation of 5 pioneering works in modern art history by a.o. Damien Hirst, Ellsworth Kelly and Kasimir Malevich.
