Lubo Mikle
Lubo Mikle (SK) is a Slovak artist living in Bratislava, a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts. He works mainly as a sculptor, with occasional overlaps to sound objects and installations. His works combine elements of recycling with industrial character, large-scale dimension, destructive attitudes and transformations. He often collaborates with music composers, sound performers and contemporary dancers. He co-organizes symposia and exhibitions. So far, he has produced 12 solo exhibitions and participated in many group exhibitions at home and abroad.
