Controversies and legal
Domestikator Louvre controversy
In October 2017, an AVL work titled "Domestikator" (2015) was scheduled for inclusion in the exhibition Hors Les Murs, (Foire Internationale d'Art Contemperain's outdoor program of architectural projects, sculptures, performances, and sound pieces that runs concurrently to the fair) held in the Tuileries Garden at the Louvre in Paris. On 17 October 2017 the President of the Louvre, Jean-Luc Martinez pulled the work from the exhibition, on the grounds that the piece, in which two interlocking buildings appear to be engaged in a sexual act, would have been displayed near a playground. The work was instead displayed by the Centre Georges Pompidou in the front square outside of that art institution for a simultaneous run.
