Biography
Michael Lindeman attained his Bachelor of Fine Arts Honours (First Class) and Master of Fine Arts at the College of Fine Arts, University of New South Wales, Sydney. Lindeman’s paintings, sculptures and readymades respond to global consumerism, planned obsolescence and a fabricated popular culture of indulgence. Residencies at the Los Angeles Studio (2001) and the School of Visual Arts, New York (2002) focused Lindeman’s attention on the ubiquity of discarded objects and a moral order dominated by plasticised cartoon characters that promote childish notions of good and evil. His approach combines serious intent with ironic playfulness. Donald Fitzpatrick, Senior Lecturer and Head of Visual Arts at Queensland University of Technology, refers to anxiety and muted nostalgia in Lindeman’s work, where 'objects are used . the way a hip-hop sound artist might use a piece of existing music but manipulated into a different circumstance’. He goes on to say: 'Michael Lindeman seems like many artists of his generation to use editing as a political means to deal with/cope/make a space in the plethora of images generated by the industrialisation of culture. Here editing allows for some type of disjuncture, even dysfunction, to occur in the production of the works and our reading of them.’ Michael Lindeman’s work was exhibited in Sherman Artbox (1999, 2002) before his first solo exhibition at the gallery in 2004. His Australian residencies include the Gunnery Studio, Artspace, Sydney (2000), the Bundanon Artist in Residence Program, NSW (2003) and Ascham School, Sydney (2004).
