Ella den Elzen is an artist and curator based between New York City and Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyang/Montréal. She is currently a Helena Rubinstein Curatorial Fellow at the Whitney Independent Study Program.
Her multi-disciplinary practice uses exploratory and collaborative modes of making, through writing, image-making, video, sound and installation to consider and critique the politics of the built environment, historical modes of representation, and forms of knowledge-production and preservation.
Previously, she worked as a curatorial assistant at the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA). She has co-instructed Contemporary Architectural Theory at the University of Waterloo School of Architecture, with a focus on subjectivity and modern property, and taught an undergraduate studio on alternative archives at McGill University. She holds an MArch from McGill University and a BAS from the University of Waterloo.
