Alain Verschueren is an artist working in sculpture and performance. For the past
three years, he has carried glass greenhouses on his shoulders in different public
spaces in Belgium. Vershueren experiments with ideas about participation in the
world, walking on the street, always within a special structure where noise is less
aggressive and the perfume of plants brings comfort and relief against pollution.
Verschueren plans to bring his oases to different parts of the world as part of a
six month journey starting in 2009.
The Cittadel-Artist Lecture Series is part of the UNIDEE in Residence Program at the Pistoletto Foundation,
Biella, Italy. For more information, please contact Chelsea Tonelli Knight at chelsea@chelseaknight.com.
