Lennart Lahuis

Lennart Lahuis (1986, NL) Through a wide array of materials and techniques, Lennart Lahuis combines the readability of visual information with natural processes such as evaporation, oxidation and erosion. The artist juxtaposes these natural phenomena with technological elements and scientific disciplines such as earth sciences and astronomy. The precision and exactitude that characterize both science and technology are contrasted with the volatility and unpredictability of natural phenomena. The scientific disciplines that Lahuis engages with are traditionally employed to produce or preserve knowledge. In his work, they become part of site-specific objects and installations that depart from transience and entropy to explore the boundaries of intelligibility and the material conditions for the readability of information, history and place. Lennart Lahuis received his BFA from ArtEZ University of the Arts in Arnhem, Netherlands. From 2011 to 2013 he was a resident at De Ateliers in Amsterdam. He completed residencies at the BANFF Centre for Visual Arts in Banff, CA; The Morgan Conservatory in Cleveland, US; The Sculpture Studios in Glasgow, UK and the EKWC (European Centre for Ceramics) in Oisterwijk, NL.
