Nicolaas Jozef Harald Vlugt (Bergen (North Holland), March 22, 1957) is a Dutch sculptor, collagist and graphic artist. For ten years he has been running the 1-teacher Art Academy Beeldproeverij, where he guides students in making collages. Vlugt lives and works in his studio in an old Bols liqueur distillery in the middle of Amsterdam's Jordaan.
Life and work Immediately after completing his art education in Amsterdam in 1981, Vlugt was one of the organizers of the alternative gallery Aorta in the old NRC building in the city center of Amsterdam. Vlugt formed an artist duo with Aldert Mantje for two to three years. From 1983 they both switched to the "official" circuit and joined the successful and avant-garde gallery The Livingroom in Amsterdam. In 1987, the duo exhibited at the end of their collaboration with a large museum overview "Gute Kameraden" in all rooms of the then Museum Fodor in Amsterdam.
In 1985 Vlugt received a travel grant to New York, where he lived and worked for six months and exhibited, including at the Germans van Eck gallery at West Broadway 420. In 1986 he left The Livingroom gallery and has since exhibited at the Nikki Diana Marquardt gallery in Paris . In 1987 he exhibited in Montreal in the exhibition "Out of Holland" in Canada's most important museum, the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal. He also had a major solo show at the Center d'Art Plastique in Lyon. In 1988 he showed sculptures at the exhibition "La Giovane Scultura Olandese" as part of the Venice Biennale, which immediately opened up more opportunities for collaboration with international museums and galleries.
In the years that followed, Vlugt exhibited extensively in international museums and galleries, lived and worked for a long time in São Paulo, New York, Cairo, Oranjestad, Auckland, Trinidad, the West Indies, and for a year in the Van Doesburg House in Paris. In 1994 he won the first prize of the National[source?] Graphics Prize and the fourth Belgian Graphic Industry Prize, and was among the world selection of twenty artists for the prestigious Senefelder Preis, Dusseldorf. In 1994 his major solo exhibition "Senses of reality" also took place in the Stedelijk Museum Schiedam. This exhibition later traveled to two Parisian museums.
From 1995-2002, Vlugt carried out a major assignment at the location of the former Ajax Stadium in the Watergraafsmeer, including the Middenstip. He partly did this project together with the Scottish sculptor David Mach. In total they made eighteen different ceramic works of art, three of which were 36 meters high.
In 2002, Vlugt was visiting professor of Sculpture at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp. From 2003 onwards he made many images for polemical stories in NRC Handelsblad, for which he used his analogue archive, which contains a million images.
