Jan Robert Leegte (born 1973, The Netherlands) is one of the first Dutch artists to work on and for the Internet since the 1990s. In 2002, he shifted his main focus to implementing digital materials in the context of the physical gallery space, aiming to bridge the online art world with the gallery art world, making prints, sculpture, installations, drawings, and projections, connecting to historical movements like land art, minimalism, performance art, and conceptualism. As an artist Leegte explores the position of the new materials put forward by the (networked) computer. Photoshop selection marquees, scrollbars, Google Maps, code, and software are dissected to understand their ontological nature.
Leegte lives and works in Amsterdam. His work has been exhibited internationally (Whitechapel Gallery, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, ZKM Karlsruhe). He is currently represented by Upstream Gallery Amsterdam.

About the exhibition Inside | Outside
I have been following the work of Jan Robert Leegte for many years and he keeps surprising me. I'll try to put into words why, and I just hope I find the right ones. Leegte's work can seem quite formal at times (though there always is a playful edge), yet somehow there is often a quirky poetic undertone hidden in there as well, something you need to take a bit of time for.
Josephine Bosma
In Het Parool
Jan Robert Leegte is not only one of the founding fathers of the international internet art movement, he is also the conscience. He combines a strong belief in the expressive possibilities of computers with the realization that they are not without costs.
