John Vaccaro

... (b. 2000, Montreal) is an emerging spatial designer and interdisciplinary artist interested in socio-spatial structures, textures, and tectonics of disciplining. Working primarily across video, costume, and performance, his practice traces worn limits and precarious boundaries of the body and/in space in search of misalignments, tensions, and tears accumulated on the surface.

Vaccaro holds a Master of Architecture from McGill University where he was awarded the Ping Kwan Lau Prize in Architecture for his final design project, Rehearsing the (*) Bathroom. He also collaborated with Sheila Nadimi and Hassan Saab on the design of Eagle Village, a limited-print artist book notably acquired by the CCA, the National Gallery of Canada, and the Getty Research Institute.

He is currently working as an architectural design consultant with AK_A/FLDWRK and continuing his collaboration with Nadimi and Saab on a follow-up book set in Venice Beach, CA.
