Martijn Hendriks is a Dutch artist whose work revolves around the transformation of fragmented cultural narratives into sculptural installations, often building these up through disparate elements that eventually come together in a larger plan over the course of years. His current long term and evolving project, Years of self-reliance, explores the sculptural and political potential of radical DIY attitudes.

Born in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, 1973. Lives and works in Amsterdam. Work has previously been exhibited among others at the New Museum, New York City, the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, North Adams, Martin van Zomeren Gallery, Amsterdam, Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, Rotterdam, De Vleeshal, Middelburg, Temporary Gallery, Cologne, the Monash University Museum of Art, Melbourne, and De Hallen Haarlem. A tutor at the independent artists’ institute De Ateliers since 2014.
