ell is an art and design practice led by Jason Campbell, whose work moves between architecture, archival process, photography, installation, and sculpture.

He tends to spaces and materials marked by incongruent narratives while exploring themes of care, memory, and reappraisal.

​​

Campbell has exhibited in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Cincinnati, and Chicago having recently exhibited at The Design Museum of Chicago and the Chicago Cultural Center -- a contribution to the 2025 Chicago Architecture Biennial. He is a 2025 Graham Foundation grant awardee and a 2024 Building Design + Construction 40 under 40 honoree. He has taught undergraduate and graduate advanced option studios at UC Berkeley College of Environmental Design, where his courses prioritized the immaterial and narrative structure of decommissioned and derelict objects, spaces, and the productive tension between seemingly incompatible ideas.​

Ongoing inquiries delve into:

​​

the collection and performance for acts of care, self-conditioning, and the space of introspection - a project that is currently reimagining a shattered tempered glass collection swept from the streets of Oakland, CA. - The Society for Care And Maintenance;

​

and HOME PRODUCTIONS: reconstructions of the post-colonial home through memory, photograph, archival processes, and perspectival drawing technique – including works acquired by the Smithsonian NMAAHC digital archive, and commissioned for the 2025 Chicago Architecture Biennial and the Arts + Public Life initiative - South Side Home Movie Project.
