Ali Ahadi is a Vancouver-based artist and writer. His interdisciplinary practice spans from site-specific ephemeral installations to sculpture, photo- and video-based works, writing, and translation. His 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. Ahadi has participated in a body of solo and group exhibitions internationally, including his recent solo exhibition at the Ag Galerie of Tehran, entitled Shit Yes Academy (Goh Ballet Academy). In 2012 he received his MFA in visual arts from the University of British Columbia, where he is currently a visual art instructor and a PhD candidate in Interdisciplinary Studies with a central focus on continental philosophy and visual arts.
