Atelier van Lieshout is the eponymous studio of Dutch sculptor Joep van Lieshout, who has gained international recognition for sculptures and installations centring on the human body and its relationship to other materials and matter.
With typically playful subversion, The Molecule that Changes All the Problems in the World represents ethanol, which has both a destructive and redeeming effect on human life in the form of alcohol. It is the source of a host of social issues, and yet is also often the perfect escape from them.

Atelier Van Lieshout rose to fame with projects that travel between the world of minimalist design and non-functional art, including sculptures and installations, buildings and furniture, utopias and dystopias.
