Born in Lisbon, 1964. Lives and works in Lisbon and exhibits regularly since the late 80s. With a strong appeal to sculpture, the artistic background of Miguel Palma followed the direction of multimedia installations, using non-traditional methods of production and working regularly within a team of carpenters, mechanics, engineers and biologists, oriented towards an hybrid area and linked with the industrial production of the 20th century. Palma's work often addresses how technology has influenced the life of modern man, its relationship with the environment, the idea of human comfort or even the idea of power. In parallel to the construction of large and medium scale installations, the artist often resorts to drawing and the construction of miniatures of his projects. In addition, the artist also produces video, artist books and performances. Of special note among his solo shows are: Desconforto Moderno, curated by Miguel Von Hafe Perez at CGAC, Spain (2013); Trajectory, curated by Greg Esser at ASU Art Museum, USA (2012); Assembly Line, curated by Isabel Carlos at CAM – Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian, Lisbon (2011); Miguel Palma: COMMA 01, curated by Graham Gussin and Sacha Craddock at Bloomberg Space, London, U.K. (2009); Miguel Palma / O Mundo às Avessas, curated by Miguel Wandschneider at Culturgest, Lisbon (2007); Miguel Palma, at Serralves Contemporary Art Museum, Oporto (2000); Traject, at Centre de Création Contemporaine, France (1997).
