Nolan Simon

Nolan Simon is an American artist who was born in 1980 and is based in Hamtramck, Michigan. He received his MFA from Columbia University in 2010.

Simon's artwork often engages with the politics of space and the built environment, as well as the relationship between the natural and the artificial. He works across a variety of media, including sculpture, installation, video, and performance.

One of Simon's notable works is "Terrain Vague", a series of sculptural installations that explore the idea of abandoned or underutilized urban spaces. These works often incorporate materials like concrete, steel, and found objects to create dynamic and immersive environments.

Simon is interested in exploring the "liminal spaces" that exist on the margins of urban environments. He described his approach as one of "gentle resistance", seeking to create interventions that disrupt the status quo without imposing a rigid or authoritarian vision.
