Since the 1970’s Michael Singer’s work has
opened new possibilities for outdoor and indoor sculpture and contributed to
the definition of site-specific art and the development of public places.
Singer’s more recent work has been instrumental in transforming public art,
landscape and planning projects into successful models for urban and ecological
renewal. His works are part of public collections in the United States and
abroad, including the Australian National Gallery, Canberra; Louisiana Museum
of Modern Art, Humlebaek, Denmark; Guggenheim Museum, New York; The Museum of
Modern Art, New York, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. He 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 ... view more »

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, and a 300’ long suspended sculptural
landscape at the Austin International Airport.
Michael Singer leads all Studio public art
projects; Jason Bregman and Jonathan Fogelson, each with over 15 years of
experience working with the Studio, form the Studio’s core team. 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. Singer’s team of craftspeople have been working with the
Studio for decades; each site-specific sculptural element starts as hand
crafted work.
