John Vaccaro

... (b. 2000) is an on-and-off-and-on again architectural worker, spatial researcher, and emerging interdisciplinary artist based in Montreal. Working primarily across video, costume, and performance, he traces worn limits of the body and space—framed as shifting sites of discipline and control—in search of misalignments, tensions, and tears accrued 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.
