Robert Janz
Robert Janz, a performance artist and painter, was born in Belfast. Many of his works address environmentalism through explorations of motion and transience, blurring the line between visual and performance arts. His pieces change, evaporate, and deteriorate, either literally or sequentially, in order to call attention to impermanence and awareness of humanity's often devastating effect on the environment. whytes.ie Janz exhibited regularly in New York, Los Angeles, and Dublin. He attended residencies at the Centre Culturel Irlandais in Paris, the Irish Museum of Modern Art in Dublin in 2005 and the John David Mooney Foundation in Chicago in 2012.
