Alex Reynolds (b. 1978, Bilbao) explores our modes of relation and affection as they appear embodied in cinematic language, questioning the medium’s conventions to explore the emancipatory potential of play. Blurring the limits of film language, her work transcends the strictly visual, finding expression in sound, text, photography, or sculpture.
Her work has been exhibited internationally in prominent contemporary art museums, galleries and festivals such as the Guggenheim Bilbao Museum, Index Foundation (Stockholm), Hollybush Gardens (London), Centre d’Art la Panera (Lleida), Galería Marta Cervera (Madrid) or the Joan Miró Foundation (Barcelona), among others. Her films have been screened at cinemas and festivals such as BFI London Film Festival (London), FIDMarseille (Marseille) Prismatic Ground (New York), or Documenta Madrid.
She has also received grants from the Akademie Schloss Solitude (2013), the Botín Foundation (2016) and the “la Caixa” Foundation (2020), and has received the Loop / Arts Santa Mònica / XAV Videocreation Award (2021 ). She is a visiting professor at KASK Ghent. She has recently presented ¡Porque tengo lágrimas!, an important solo exhibition at Caixa Forum Barcelona. She has also participated in the 10th edition of the Contour Biennial in Belgium. Her work can be found in important collections such as; Guggenheim Bilbao, CA2M, MACBA, Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores, Unión Europea y Cooperación and Fundación Sorigué.
