Discover the article about the Art-in-the-Office project by Labgroup on the website chronicle.lu
Art-in-the-office, a three-year project launched by Labgroup and with the support of ALD Automotive, integrates art into the day-to-day working environment by improving the aesthetics of everyday objects; for this first edition, Labgroup called upon a recognized talent from Luxembourg; the artist SUMO – his challenge, to transform Labgroup’s secure destruction containers into artwork.
“This project unites two conflicting concepts: destruction and creation. The creative element consists in the conception of an original artwork displayed on a container, which is ultimately destined to collect material for the purpose of destroying it. This paradox constitutes one of the fascinating aspects of the artwork. In addition, my works are typically composed of several layers, whereby each successive layer destroys the previous one” stated SUMO.
