Michel van Dartel to head V2_Lab for the Unstable Media

ROTTERDAM – The supervisory board of V2_Lab for the Unstable Media is 
proud to announce that Michel van Dartel (42) will take over as the 
organization’s director. “With his knowledge, skills, broad experience 
and passion, I’m confident that Michel will succeed in renewing V2_’s 
philosophy and helping the organization to evolve further,” says board 
chair Korrie Louwes.

Van Dartel: “I’m exceptionally proud to be able to take the helm at one 
of the most important institutions in the international art and 
technology sphere. I’m very much looking forward to working with V2_’s 
dedicated team and supervisory board to deploy its unique mix of 
expertise, its extensive network and its critical character to make 
important artistic contributions to addressing the social and cultural 
challenges that accompany technological change.”

He takes over on June 1, 2018, from Alex Adriaansens, who founded V2_ 
with Joke Brouwer in 1981. Adriaansens says, “I consider Michel’s 
appointment as the new director of V2_ to be a very good decision. He 
possesses a deep understanding of the organization and its mission and 
has a highly motivated team standing ready to help him develop the 
organization further and to translate its mission into a challenging 
program.”

Michel will combine his directorship at V2_ with his work as a professor 
at the Avans Centre of Applied Research for Art, Design and Technology.
