Jan Robert Leegte

Jan Robert Leegte is an artist based in Amsterdam who explores the materiality of the networked computer, working on and for the internet since the 1990s. In 2002, he shifted his main focus to implementing digital materials in the context of the physical gallery space, aiming to bridge the online art world with the gallery art world through prints, sculpture, installations, drawings, and projections. His work has been exhibited globally, including at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam; Centre Pompidou, Paris; Museum Ludwig, Cologne; Whitechapel Gallery, London; Kunsthalle Zürich; Kröller-Müller Museum, Otterlo; CODA Museum, Apeldoorn; MORE Museum, Gorssel; and ZKM Karlsruhe.
