Adrian Blackwell

Spanning photography, video, sculpture, urban theory, and design, Adrian Blackwell’s practice responds to the political and economic forces inscribed in physical spaces. Operating between art, architecture, and urbanism, his projects unfold alongside research focused on the local and global effects of neoliberal urbanization and the inherent paradoxes of public space and private property. Blackwell’s work has been exhibited at artist-run centers and public institutions across Canada, in the United States and at the 2005 Shenzhen Biennale of Urbanism\\Architecture, the 2011 Chengdu Biennial, and the 2019 Toronto Biennial of Art and Chicago Biennial of Architecture. He has taught architecture and urbanism at Universities in Chongqing, Michigan, Harvard and Toronto. He is an editor and founder of the Journal Scapegoat: Architecture / Landscape / Political Economy.
