About Michel Droge
Michel Droge is a multidisciplinary artist whose work draws inspiration from remote and unseen environments and ideas of multi-species, non-binary, and entangled life systems. Inspired by oceanic field study and collaborative scientific research, their work frames the deep sea as a queer, generative space. Michel is the recipient of a Joan Mitchell Foundation MFA Grant, and has been awarded three individual Maine Arts Commission grants. They are a co-recipient of a Kindling Fund Grant and have been awarded fellowships from The Schmidt-Ocean Institutes Artist-at-Sea Residency, the Surfpoint Foundation, Ellis-Beauregard Foundation, Hewnoaks Residency, The Tides Institute, and the Joseph Fiore Foundation. Their work has been exhibited recently at Art Basel Miami (2023), Bates College Art Museum, Universidad de Costa Rica, and the Cue Art Foundation. Recent solo exhibitions include the University of Maine Orono, University of Maine Farmington, Cove Street Arts, the Maine Jewish Museum, and the June Fitzpatrick Gallery.

My work is drawn from environmental field research and scientific collaboration that explores the world through the lens of entanglement and queer ecology, bringing attention to the interconnectedness of all things and uplifting conservation and care of ecosystems.”
