Coen Janssen

Coen Janssen (1976) completed his study of communication and studied art at the AKI / ARTEZ Academy in Enschede and the University of Cuenca (SP).

In his videos and pictures, he builds complex structures in time and space. He seeks out for practices that give the maximum effect with minimum means. The properties of the medium and chance affect the final result.

His art is shown on national and international exhibitions and festivals in for example Beijing, Reykjavik, Dusseldorf, Osnabruck, Muenster, Ghent, Brussels, Tilburg, Maastricht, Utrecht, Amsterdam and Rotterdam.
Besides his work as an artist he studies theoretical philosophy at the Erasmus University in Rotterdam.

Coen Janssen is a Rotterdam based artist.
