Arne Quinze: Modern Contemporary

Belgian artist Arne Quinze (born 1971) uses "poor" materials to fashion makeshift dwellings presented as sculptural installations. In their extreme precariousness, Quinze's Stilt Houses and Bidonvilles parody the haste with which residential buildings are often erected today, and point to the alienated character of citydwelling in their gapingly dehisced state.
