Paul Landon

Paul Landon explores built space. His wanderings are transcribed through individual processes of mediatisation: of recording, editing, archiving and reconstruction. Landon’s work, in drawing, photography, video and installation, is structured through the uncompromising physicality of architecture and the modern landscape, positing these as sites inscribed with forgotten promise and effaced monumentality. His artworks have been exhibited internationally since 1984 and he has published numerous articles and essays both online and in print since 2010.

Landon graduated from The Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in Halifax, Canada in 1984 and from the Jan van Eyck Academie in The Netherlands in 1989. In 2016, he completed a Doctorate in Fine Arts at the Finnish Academy of Fine Arts in Helsinki. Paul Landon lives and works in Montréal, where he is a professor of Media Arts at the École des arts visuels et médiatiques of UQÀM.
