Adrien Sun Hall is an exhibitions director and independent curator based in Toronto, Canada.
Adrien is currently Director, Exhibitions and Projects at Kent Monkman Studio, where he has overseen the planning and execution of over sixteen major museum exhibitions in the US and Canada from a working artist’s atelier since 2018.
Adrien was curator of Works in Practice, a core exhibition of the CONTACT Photography Festival in Toronto 2023, and co-curator of A/PUBLIC: A Gathering of Queer Asian Artists and Writers, at the Brodsky Gallery in Philadelphia, 2018.
Adrien’s curatorial practice is driven by artistic collaboration and a desire to uplift underrepresented voices, particularly from racialized and queer contexts. He is informed by his background as an artist and has exhibited artwork in Canada in the US as well as lectured on his research, including as a Graduate Lecturer at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia, and as a sessional instructor at the University of Pennsylvania. Prior, Adrien practiced as a landscape architect, and his research and writing on cultural landscapes has been published in peer-reviewed publications and periodicals.
Adrien received his MFA in Visual Art from the University of Pennsylvania, and his Bachelor of Landscape Architecture from the University of Guelph.
