Michael Jansen (artist)
Michael "Mike"Jansen (born 1951, Bochum, Germany) is a painter, media-artist and composer. He lives and works in Düsseldorf, Antwerp and Austria.
As a young man, Jansen had the great advantage of working with Joseph Beuys on renowned projects- like "Raum 3, die ganze deutsche Nachkriegslyrik..." and this has been of great importance for Jansen's further orientation. His engagement with the Free International University (FIU) and the work with John Cage have influenced and confirmed his artistic intentions.
Jansen was an assistant and master-class student of Kurt Link. He is a founder (together with Frank Köllges and Mike Hentz) of the music-performance group "Padlt Noidlt". He has held guest professorships at the Art Academy Bremen (free art / intermedia) and in the Centre Europeen d`Art Contemporain, Vallauris (F). Social-cultural project: A.G.B. - actions with young people and concepts for social living in Düsseldorf; works on future visions, concepts for a One World Tower.
