Jan Robert Leegte part of group show FRAGILIA at Galerie Met

Jan Robert Leegte is part of group show "FRAGILIA" at Galerie Met that opens 15 March 2024.

The exhibition "FRAGILIA" presents the works of artists Aurel Dahlgrün, Jan Robert Leegte and Yiy Zhang, who thematically address the fragility of natural conditions. In view of the increasing impact of climate change on the environment, these changes are increasingly visible in the landscape. The artists express this focus through various materials and techniques that visualise the potential effects of climate change and transformations.

From both the "Mountains and Drop Shadows" series and the "Performing a Landscape series" artworks by Jan Robert Leegte will be on display.

Jan Robert Leegte (born 1973 in the Netherlands, lives and works in Amsterdam) develops views of nature with the help of digital programmes. Performing a Landscape is a video installation consisting of various screens that show animated visualisations of the environment. The artist takes up dystopian views of the biosphere and alienates them to create an apocalyptic appearance. The work Mountains and Drop shadows from 2023 shows an examination of artificial intelligence. Jan Robert Leegte has given the AI image material, which is expanded and abstracted in a continuous process. The work raises questions about the natural design of wilderness in the prospect of idealising artificial possibilities in contrast to the brutal reality of environmental destruction in the world.
