A frequent collaborator of the legendary French critic Pierre Restany, he is always drawn to the utopian and the cosmic. Van Hoeydonck is known for being the only artist whose work is exhibited on the moon. One copy of his aluminium figure Fallen Astronaut (1971) is surreptitiously placed there by the Apollo 15 crew in 1971, commemorating the eight astronauts and six cosmonauts who died in the Space Race between the US and the USSR.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaul Van Hoeydonck\u003c/strong\u003e is vooral tijdens de jaren 60 bekend voor zijn internationale waardering voor zijn karakteristieke space art. Van Hoeydoncks kunstenaarspraktijk wordt bepaald door zijn interesse in de toekomst, de utopie en het kosmische. Deze belangstelling combineert hij met zijn kennis van het verleden: Van Hoeydonck behaalde een graduaat kunstgeschiedenis aan het Kunsthistorisch Instituut in Antwerpen. Doorheen zijn hele oeuvre vinden we dan ook een wisselwerking tussen het oude en het nieuwe terug. Van Hoeydoncks sculpturen en objecten zijn veelal jongensachtige mijmeringen over de wereld van de toekomst.
