ARTIST BIOGRAPHY

"To playfully explore a thrilling urban sublime through drifting symbols of invisible sites - this is why I make art."

Graham Coreil-Allen is a Baltimore-based interventionist public artist who explores the constructs and contradictions of the everyday built environment through videos, maps, words and walking tours. Coreil-Allen draws experience from having lived and worked in Galveston, Texas, Tampa, Florida, New Orleans, Louisiana, Sarasota, Florida and New York City. The public artist studied at Tulane School of Architecture, completed his BA at New College of Florida and received his MFA from Maryland Institute College of Art’s Mount Royal School of Art.
