Newcastle, UK, 1977. Lives and works in London.

Michael Dean starts from short texts written in original print

formats to give rise to an almost physical linguistic space that is

meant to urge the audience not only to read, but to take part —

both visually and spatially — the meaning of the short aphorisms. In his sculptures, installations and urban interventions, written language is transformed into new signs and characters that the artists invents or borrows from basic geometric codes.
