Stephen Willats 1943
Woont in London (UK). Werkt in London (UK).
Vertegenwoordigd door:
Lumen Travo Galerie
Sinds het begin van de jaren zestig leidt de kunstenaar, Stephen Willats, een kritisch onderzoek naar omgevingen die gevormd zijn door het hedendaagse leven en heeft hij de vertegenwoordiging van een sociale agenda in de kunstpraktijk geïnitieerd. Willats is een van de voorlopers van de conceptuele kunst in Europa, en omarmt cybernetica, computertechnologie, semiotiek en gedrags- en sociale psychologie om het element van interactiviteit te bevorderen dat nog steeds een van de belangrijkste drijfveren in zijn werk is. Dit heeft Willats geïnspireerd om zijn kunstpraktijk rechtstreeks in een reeks omgevingen te brengen die universeel vertrouwde hedendaagse culturele iconen vertegenwoordigen, zoals de woonwijk of de stedelijke winkelstraat.
