Small Sausage with Funnel Lamp

In many languages, sausage is a pars pro toto for male, or even straight up slang for penis. In Dutch, the translation of sausage, “worst”, also means “whatever”, which is Joep van Lieshout’s comment on art versus design and art in general, even his own. It is his laconic yet defiant response towards the attempt of the press and market to label or box him as artist, designer or architect or sculptor.
