Alex Turgeon is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice investigates formal and structural relationships between poetry and architecture. His overall work focuses on how these fields inform the queer subject as built environment. Turgeon’s practice finds interdisciplinary form through concrete poetry, sculpture, drawing, video, and performance, by embodying a radical ethos rooted in the methodologies of printed matter—framed as a distributive tool and political method for making and occupying space. He received his BFA from Emily Carr University of Art + Design and an MFA from Rutgers University. His work has been presented in part at the Tate (Liverpool); Akademie der Künste and KW Institute for Contemporary Art (Berlin); Kunsthalle Zürich; Contemporary Art Centre (Vilnius); the Southern Alberta Art Gallery (Lethbridge) and as part of “Poetry as Practice,” an online exhibition hosted by Rhizome and the New Museum (New York). Turgeon participated as a Junge Akademie Fellow at the Akademie der Künste, Berlin (2022-2023) and has been an artist-in-residence at the Banff Centre for the Arts, (2011), Rupert (2015), Fondazione Antonio Ratti (2017), Autodesk Technology Center (2019) and is a forthcoming resident at the Cité Internationale des Arts, Paris (2024-2025).
