==Work==
Bijl's early work, a series of projects on paper, combined his myriad background experiences to engage the a wider audience. The series, ''Project-notities [Project Notes]'' (1969-1975), includes drawings and written proposals for museum installations, theatrical pieces, performance projects, and experiments in 16mm film.<ref name=":0" /> From the second half of the 1970s, Bijl started to create spatial objects and was researching in finding alternatives for [[conceptual art]].
Bijl's first installation was a driving school, set in a gallery in Antwerp in 1979, accompanied by a [[manifesto]] calling for the abolition of art centres, and replacing them with 'socially useful institutions'. This installation was followed in the eighties by a billiards room, a casino, a laundromat, a centre for professional training, a psychiatric hospital, a [[fallout shelter]], a show of fictitious American artists, a conference for a new political party and a rural Belgian model house. A more recent show was at the Berlin’s Center for Opinions in Music and Art.<ref>Guillaume Bijl. Frieze Magazine,
