In 2000 Michiel Jansen (Geldrop, 1973) graduated from the Academy of Art & Design in 's-Hertogenbosch at the department' Sculpture and other media '. He exhibits in galleries and independent art spaces and his work can be found in private collections and cultural organizations in the Netherlands. He is mainly concerned with installations, sculptures and collages based on the space in which they are located or the materials with which he works. His choice of materials, method and use of form have a strong link with architecture, which may be a result of his unfinished study of Architecture in the years 1992-1994 in Eindhoven. In addition to his artistry, he has always been involved in organizing and producing and has been an active part of TAC in Eindhoven and the Nederlandsche Cacaofabriek in Helmond. After moving to Rotterdam, he founded the SingerSweatShop, an artist's building in the middle of the center with living, working and exhibition possibilities. In 2013 he moved temporarily to Berlin and upon his return to Rotterdam in 2014, he focused on his own work full-time again. Since 2016 he is a member of the artist group If Paradise Is Half As Nice.
