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 and refusal. 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 La Virreina (Barcelona) Guggenheim Bilbao Museum, Index Foundation (Stockholm), Sculpture Center (New York), Kanal Centre Pompidou (Brussels), Hollybush Gardens (London), Centre d’Art la Panera (Lleida), or the Joan Miró Foundation (Barcelona), among others. Her films have been screened at cinemas and festivals such as BFI London Film Festival (London), Courtisane, 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. 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.
