Artist in Residence #1

Michal Mitro, born in 1989 in Slovakia, is a conceptual artist, composer, and performer with a diverse practice spanning various media. His work delves into the subtle details of everyday life, focusing on aspects that, despite their commonality and familiarity, often go unnoticed and unexamined. Mitro aims to blur the lines between the audience and the artist/composer, redefining the art-making process to be more inclusive, accessible, and engaging to the public. Since 2010, he has pursued education in multiple artistic fields. After graduating from Masaryk University in the Czech Republic in 2012, he continued his studies in Sculpture and Sound Arts at the University of Tasmania, Australia, and later explored traditional Indonesian music (Karawitan) at ISBI Bandung. Mitro has exhibited and performed internationally, particularly in Australia, Indonesia, and the Czech Republic.
