The first work of art in this \u0026lsquo;Art Liquidation Project\u0026rsquo; was the installation *Driving School Z *(1979). Bijl closed the Ruimte Z gallery in Antwerp and transformed it into a socially beneficial institution, a driving school. He fitted out the space with all the accessories associated with a driving school and so created a perfect imitation of reality. Over the front window hangs a sign saying Autorijschool Z (\u0026lsquo;Driving School Z\u0026rsquo;). The scene was set so meticulously that chance passers-by assumed the gallery had become a driving school. The illusion was perfect. The artist also realised that when assembling the installation he was acting as a sculptor in his choice and arrangement of the objects. *\u0026lsquo;Every installation I create is actually thoroughly well-considered.

Het eerste kunstwerk in dit \u0026lsquo;Kunstliquidatieproject\u0026rsquo; is de installatie *Autorijschool Z*(1979). Bijl sluit fictief de Antwerpse galerie Ruimte Z en transformeert ze in een nuttige maatschappelijke instelling, namelijk een autorijschool. De ruimte wordt ingericht met attributen die verband hebben met een rijschool en wordt zo een perfecte nabootsing van de werkelijkheid. Aan de etalage hangt een bord waarop \u0026lsquo;Autorijschool Z\u0026rsquo; te lezen staat. De enscenering was zo precies uitgevoerd dat toevallige voorbijgangers veronderstelden dat de galerie een autorijschool was geworden. Er waren zelfs mensen die zich wilden laten inschrijven. De illusie was perfect. Tenslotte realiseerde de kunstenaar zich dat hij bij het maken van de installatie als beeldhouwer handelde in de keuze en ordening van de objecten. *\u0026ldquo;In feite is elke installatie die ik maak zeer beredeneerd. Het blijft een decor dat ik maak.
