Abraham Burickson (born 1975)[1] is an American poet, writer, and conceptual artist.
Early life and education
[edit]Abraham Burickson was born in New York City, the son of Sherwin Burickson.[citation needed] He earned a BA in architecture from Cornell University, having changed his major from English and anthropology.[2] In 2008 he received an MFA from the Michener Center for Writers at the University of Texas.
Career
[edit]In 2001, with actor Matthew Purdon, Burickson co-founded the conceptual art and performance group Odyssey Works, becoming its artistic director[3][4] and co-director of its Experience Design Certificate program.[5] In 2009 he founded an interdisciplinary retreat, the Odyssey Lab.[6] He heads the Long Architecture Project, which bases architectural design on deep analysis of clients' values and aims.[5]
Burickson was a James Michener Fellow in Poetry at the Michener Center for Writers from 2005 to 2008. He also received a fellowship from the Millay Colony for the Arts in 2005, and in 2010 was Artist-in-Residence at Risley Residential College at Cornell. He has taught at Maryland Institute College of Art[7] and at Academy of Art University.[6] In 2018, he won the Mary Sawyers Baker Prize for Interdisciplinary Art.[1]
In 2016, with Ayden LeRoux, he published Odyssey Works: Transformative Experiences for an Audience of One, which consists of six essays outlining Odyssey Works' approach to art-making as experience design.[3] His 2023 book Experience Design: A Participatory Manifesto seeks to redirect design from things to experiences.[5]
