Maureen Paley is pleased to present Private View, Erik Van Lieshout’s first solo exhibition at the gallery following on from his screening of Janus in February 2013. Featuring new drawing, sculpture and film the exhibition builds on his project Ego included in the The Encyclopedic Palace, curated by Massimiliano Gioni for the 55th edition of the Venice Biennale. Private View weaves together narratives from autobiographical sources as well as from factory employees in the south of Holland and the Dutch Royal family. The artist’s parents and siblings are the main subjects of his new film The Workers.
