Adrian Luz

Artist and architect Adrian Luz is part of a new, ‘transnationally’ active generation. The term refers to a biography and body of work spanning multiple countries, whereby changes in perspective and social realities related thereto are not negated but given a positive artistic interpretation.

Adrian Luz was born in the border town of Tijuana (1974), grew up in Los Angeles, spent numerous years in Paris, and is currently living in Berlin. He is known for his temporary art installations in public spaces. Interventions like “Of Two” on the Simone de Beauvoir pedestrian bridge in Paris (2012), “Reminiscences of a Higher Place” in La Jolla Indian Reservation, San Diego (2016), “Something Inside Myself” at Miami Art Basel, Miami (2016), and various creative interventions at Burning Man festivals create unique, aesthetic social places- moments of spontaneous gathering and positive appropriation by passers-by.

When the artworks of Adrian Luz disappear, they remain as memories, thoughts, and more importantly, as proof of a best case scenario of a new societal possibility.
