Biography

Ali Ahadi (b. Tehran, Iran. 1984) is an Iranian-Canadian Vancouver based artist and scholar in humanities. His interdisciplinary practice spans from site-specific ephemeral installations to sculpture, photo and video-based works, writing and translation. Ahadi’s work is constituted through addressing the problems of presentation and representation, monsteration and demonstration, and, finally, the relationships between aesthetics and contingent forms of abstractions. His proposed protocol of abstraction calls for what he terms a “monster,” an assemblage of a disorganized relation between the linguistic economy and the optical economy of an object. Ahadi is an internationally exhibited artist. His last solo exhibition, Shit Yes Academy (Goh Ballet Academy) was held at the Ag Galerie of Tehran, Iran. He holds a PhD in Interdisciplinary Studies with a focus on continental philosophy from the University of British Columbia, where he previously received his MFA in visual arts in 2012.
