Gauthier Oushoorn lives and works in Brussels. He has a profound interest in the definition of space. Architecture is his recurring frame of reference while his trained craftsmanship acts both as a utility and obstruction. Through sculptural work he explores the elements to create space. The Absence of a Permanent I was commissioned by Europalia Arts Festival for the exhibition The Absence of a Permanent I at Centre d'innovation et de design, Grand-Hornu, Hornu, Belgium, 2015.
