Michael Singer has created site specific sculptures for over 45 years and has had several one-person shows, most notably at the Guggenheim Museum, New York City and most recently at the Utzon Center in Aalborg and the Danish Architectural Center in Copenhagen, Denmark. In 2019 Singer was honored for his work by the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Singer founded his collaborative Studio over 30 years ago to advance increasingly complex designs that sculpt spaces, re-imagine infrastructure and regenerate landscapes.
The Studio’s sculptural works and spaces have been noted for their unique regenerative qualities, with projects shaped to restore environmental function through the realization of the built work. Many of the Studio’s public projects have intricate layers of materials and are seen as a gradual co-evolution with Singer’s installations and sculptures. The Studio has created numerous public art projects in the USA and abroad including for the US Embassy in Athens, Greece, Atria Gardens at the Alterra Center for Environmental Research in The Netherlands, the Memorial Garden in Stuttgart, Germany and Groundswell (2019) in Toronto, Ontario. Recent projects include a 40’ tall solar powered biofiltration garden for the Seminole Tribe, Queens Plaza in New York City, several water-filtering sculpted gardens, sculpted artificial reefs for coral regeneration and a 300’ long suspended sculptural landscape at the Austin International Airport.
The Studio offers in-house design, planning, fabrication, and construction services, and has worked closely with architects, engineers, contractors and other collaborators on dozens of projects in 9 countries. The Studio always works through a collaborative process with clients and project teams and has decades of experience working with communities and stakeholders to realize projects that are beautiful, regenerative and deeply meaningful for everyday users. Jason Bregman and Jonathan Fogelson, with 22 and 17 years of experience working with the Studio, respectively, co-lead projects with Mr. Singer. Mr. Bregman and Mr. Fogelson are not only creative collaborators but also handle all administrative and technical aspects of Studio projects to ensure timelines and budgets are met.
