Alex Diamant is a multidisciplinary artist based in New York City. With a background in architecture and over a decade in custom fabrication, Diamant’s work engages the friction between industrial precision and intuitive process. His current series of cast paper pulp reliefs explores the relationship between materiality, erosion, and accumulation, rejecting traditional hierarchies between structure, color, and surface. By repeatedly carving, painting, and recasting, he creates works that exist in a state of flux—both constructed and deteriorating, both diagram and ruin.

Diamant’s process-driven approach resonates with the exhibition’s investigation into fractured environments and speculative futures. His use of CNC technology alongside hand carving reflects the evolving relationship between human labor and technological intervention, mirroring the tension between human-centric industrial histories and posthuman spaces. The resulting works resist illusionism, instead presenting themselves as autonomous objects—physical remnants of an uncertain future, layered with traces of past decisions and emergent structures.

In past projects, Diamant has explored the fluidity between disciplines, moving from layered wet media to sculptural reliefs. His work resists singular categorization, much like the shifting landscapes of the posthuman city—neither fully controlled nor fully chaotic, but shaped by a process of continual transformation.
