The Morning After The Night Before is an exploration of the formal and conceptual relationships between language and architecture as interrelated structures through formal and conceptual interpretations. Operating within a liminal space between the site of existential experience and interrogations of the future, the exhibition reflects on the process of utopian envisioning through an artistic interpretation of archival vernacular and architectural lexicon. The exhibition proposes a spatial language of exploration into what remains and what is left behind within the creative process of envisioning.

Alex Turgeon is the Structurist Creative Research Fellow for 2025-2026. This exhibition marks the culmination of his fellowship. 

Alex Turgeon (b. Kjipuktuk/Halifax, Nova Scotia) is an artist whose practice investigates the structural relationships between language and architecture. Through interdisciplinary methods, his work braids images of architecture, infrastructure, and nature, to become uncanny translations of queer subjectivity, social class, and urban space under late capitalism. Turgeon's practice explores how poetic structures, in tandem with architectural methods, can interpret queer experience as a form of built environment situated within peripheral landscapes.

Turgeon's work has been presented and performed in part at the Tate (Liverpool); Akademie der Künste, KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Ashley (Berlin); Kunsthalle Zürich; Contemporary Art Centre (Vilnius); Sanatorium (Istanbul); FUTURA (Prague); Juf (Madrid); Cooper Cole, Franz Kaka (Toronto); Southern Alberta Art Gallery (Lethbridge) and as part of “Poetry as Practice,” an online exhibition hosted by Rhizome and the New Museum (New York). Turgeon has held a Junge Akademie Fellowship at the Akademie der Künste, Berlin (2022–2023) and the Structurist Creative Research Fellowship at the University of Saskatchewan (2025-2026). He has participated as an artist-in-residence at the Banff Centre for the Arts (2011), Rupert (2015), Fondazione Antonio Ratti (2017), Autodesk Technology Center (2019), Treignac Projet (2022) and Cité internationale des arts, Paris (2024–25).

Turgeon holds a Bachelor of Fine Art from Emily Carr University and a Master of Fine Art from Rutgers University.
