Hans Theys

Hans Theys is a twentieth-century philosopher and art historian. He has written and designed dozens of books on the works of contemporary artists and published hundreds of essays, interviews and reviews in books, catalogues and magazines. All his publications are based on actual collaborations and conversations with artists.

Visiting the sculptor Bernd Lohaus, who had been invited by Hans Theys to install his monumental sculpture 'Eupen' in a park in the town of Beersel on the occasion of the solo show 'Beersel, Eupen und Anderes' at the Herman Teirlinckhuis in Beersel. The sculpture remained there for three years, unspoiled by visitors. We see the artist in a tiny studio, lit by a hole in the wall and furnished by a writing table inherited from his father (who was a lawyer). then we see him flipping wood blocks and finally installing 'Eupen' in Beersel.
