Koenraad Dedobbeleer

Koenraad Dedobbeleer constructs sculptural environments, often resembling elements of 1970s Space Age interior design, futuristic aesthetics for an imagined realm. Assembled together with Dedobeleer's original fabrications, his installations incorporate humorous modifications and recontextualisations of readymade objects. Through placing formerly mundane articles within the artist’s constructed worlds, he elevates and liberates them from their formal quality and function, asking the viewer to reevaluate them in a new context. This play between original sculpture and transformed object creates intriguing dynamics and contextual rifts, questioning the value and provenance attributed to objects, and how they can be altered within fresh frames of reference.
