For 25 years Allan Wexler has created artworks, objects, and environments that blur the borders between art and architecture. He has also been teaching all that time, currently at Parsons School of Design in New York, and he has been represented by the Ronald Feldman Gallery in New York since 1984. He has lectured all over the globe. He received the Rome Prize in 2004–5.
