Jeroen Jongeleen (Apeldoorn, 1966) is an adventurous artist who, in his explorations of the urban landscape, is constantly looking for unexpected paths. His works are like 'tracks' that lie somewhere between activism and intervention art, strongly influenced by the art movements of the avant-garde of the 20th century. As a contemporary member of the 'Situationist International', Jongeleen speaks with his hands, leaving his mark as he runs and climbs. He pays tribute to the rough sides of urban life. In the past, he defiantly left plastic shopping bags on city buildings, as a “triumph of the wind over high-rises”. His – less-happy – smileys give the passer-by a wink from yet another state of mind. From his love for the elephant trail, he endlessly ran his own grooves in the grass. He also moved artworks from the reconstruction to save them from the demolition hammer. You have to find his tracks, but once you discover his language, the city shows itself from a different side. Jongeleen lives and works in Rotterdam and Paris.
