Adrian Blackwell received a Hong Kong Design Trust Seed Grant of $50,000 Hong Kong Dollars for his project: Shenzhen As Model: Tracing the Topologies of Neoliberal Urbanization. He will be travelling to Shenzhen, China for 6 weeks in the Winter term to conduct this research. Congratulations Adrian!
Adrian Blackwell had a solo exhibition at the Art Gallery at Laval University called Inverted Barricadefrom November 9-December 18, 2016. The exhibition interrogated the barricade as the only truly popular form of architecture through three works: a video showing students building the barricades of Occupy Central in Hong Kong in 2014, a broadsheet called “Inverser la barricade”, and a sculptural cast of a barricade turning inside out.
It is with great pride and pleasure that we share the news that the Canada Council has awarded the 2016 Prix de Rome for Emerging Practitioners to Piper Bernbaum.
