ALEXANDRA GRANT
Alexandra Grant (B. 1973) is a Los Angeles-based Artist, who through an exploration of the use of Text and Language in various media- Painting, Drawing, Sculpture, Film, and Photography- probes ideas of Translation, Identity, Dis/location, and Social responsibility. Grant frequently collaborates with other Artists, Writers, and Philosophers. She has collaborated with author Michael Joyce, actor Keanu Reeves, artist Channing Hansen, and the philosopher Hélène Cixous, amongst others. Some of the basic questions that fuel her practice are: How do the languages we speak and the images we see form how we think and exchange ideas? How can Artists and Writers work to create and influence Culture in an increasingly technology-driven world?
