Miguel-Ángel Cárdenas (1934–2015) aka Michel Cardena, was a Colombian-Dutch artist working in the realm of new realism/pop art in the 60s, and performance and video art in the 70s. In 1972 he was a founding member of the artists’ run space In Out Center in Amsterdam. Cardena’s works, executed through his ‘Warming Up etc, etc, etc. Company’ often had (humorous) sexual connotations.
