profile
Michael Muelhaupt (b. 1988) is an artist and curator based in Pittsburgh, PA. He makes supportive objects: sculptures to concrete communities, and spaces sensitive to the bodies they contain.
Raised in the suburbs of Washington, DC, attended Virginia Commonwealth University, where he received his BFA in Sculpture + Extended Media in 2010. After briefly living in New Orleans, he relocated to Austin to attend The University of Texas’ MFA program in Studio Art, completing his degree in 2017. He is a founding member of Partial Shade, a nomadic curatorial project focused on hosting exhibitions in non-traditional art spaces with work that is responsive to, considerate of, and affected by its environment. Michael has attended a number of Artist-In-Residence programs including: The Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture (2013), Oxbow School of Art (2016), The Vermont Studio Center (2012), and ACRE Projects (2014).
