Guillaume Bijl (1946, lives and works in Antwerp) has been known since the 1970s for his large-scale installations for which he uses found objects. With this, Bijl took a pioneering role in the reintroduction of the ready-made. He shows the viewer various aspects of our Western 'civilisation' and consumer society. He creates an 'archaeology of our time' using stereotypes in a tragicomic, alienating way. Guillaume is represented in the Netherlands by Lumen Travo Gallery.

"I am a fan of Guillaume Bijl's work," said Philip Akkerman in the opening line of the press release for the exhibition Guillaume Bijl & Philip Akkerman, on view for another two weeks at Torch Gallery in Amsterdam. It can be that simple: you admire someone’s work and ask them to collaborate on your exhibition. Akkerman asked Bijl if he could add a self-portrait to one of Bijl’s installations. Bijl agreed and according to the press release, asked no further questions. Moreover, according to Akkerman, there are no deeper intellectual ideas or intentions—at least not yet. The question remains why Akkerman is such a fan of Guillaume Bijl.
