Paper, pressure and collective labor turn architecture into a provisional, breathing structure.

Materials are stacked, pressed, stretched, woven. Paper becomes column, ceiling, skin. Textiles spill across floors. Machines stand in the middle of rooms, not as tools hidden backstage, but as protagonists. ****Z33** presents - ****Michael Beutler** \- Video: **Lieven Geuns** [**Michael Beutler**](https://nagel-draxler.de/artist/michael-beutler/?ref=catapult-platform.art) does not decorate Francesca Torzo’s architecture. He interferes with it. Corridors are narrowed by towering wire-and-paper cylinders. In the tower, a suspended paper sieve filters daylight into something softer, fibrous, visibly made. The building’s sharp edges meet soft surfaces, temporary partitions, inserted doors. Monumental gestures appear, yet they remain fragile. Everything feels both stable and provisional. ![michael beutler, large scale art installation - weaving machine with large carpets , textile colorful view exhibition view, ](https://storage.ghost.io/c/1c/24/1c2478ff-417d-4e88-8226-288af467f6b9/content/images/2026/02/Michael-beutler.webp) **Installation of the exhibition Michael Beutler at Z33, Hasselt, 2025\.

Photo: Useful Art Services. The production process is not background information. It is the work. Together with architecture and design students, guides and assistants, Beutler transforms Z33 into a collective workspace. Tools are simple, almost naive, but they demand coordination. Variations emerge through handling. Grids buckle. Surfaces ripple. Imperfections accumulate as structure rather than error. Upstairs, a monumental weaving loom dominates a white room. Heavy carpets made of recycled textiles roll outward across the floor like terrain. What looks monumental is in fact dependent on continuous labor. What appears solid can barely be moved. Michael Beutler is not about finished form. It is about how form holds, temporarily, through collaboration. --- [**Michael Beutler online**](http://michaelbeutler.com/?ref=catapult-platform.art) [**Z33 on Instagram**](https://www.instagram.com/z33be/?ref=catapult-platform.art) [**Tim Roerig on Instagram**](https://www.instagram.com/timroerig/?ref=catapult-platform.art) --- ## Installation views: ![michael beutler, exhibiton Installation of the exhibition at Z33](https://storage.ghost.io/c/1c/24/1c2478ff-417d-4e88-8226-288af467f6b9/content/images/2026/02/michael-beutler--exhibition-.webp) Installation of the exhibition Michael Beutler at Z33, Hasselt, 2025\.
