ALICE ANDERSON
Alice Anderson lives and works in London. Anderson locates her practice at the fulcrum between movement informed by ancestral cultures and the ubiquitous world of technology and its algorithmic systems. Her animist approach advocates a total reconnection to Nature through ritual dance. She is one of the very few artists who creates paintings and sculptures during performances, remaking and rethinking the wired connections between consciousness, body, and machine, what she calls ‘human/non-human interactions’. In 2020, Anderson was nominated for the Prix Marcel Duchamp.
Anderson researches in anthropology and ecofeminism to find other dimensions and relationships to Nature through dance, which led her to live with the Kogi Community in Colombia.
Her work has been included in numerous institutional exhibitions, including, among others: A Worlds of Networks, Centre Pompidou, Paris, France (2022); Female Power Figures, Fontevraud Museum of Modern Art, Fontevraud, France (2021); Geometric Dances, La Patinoire Royale Brussels, Brussels, Belgium (2021); Prix Marcel Duchamp nominees, Centre Pompidou. Paris, France (2020); Paintingscultures, Atelier Calder, Saché, France (2019); Lift, Royal Academy of Arts, London, UK (2017); 181 Kilometres, Saatchi Gallery London (2016), UK; Data Space, Espace Culturel Louis Vuitton Paris, France (2015); Memory Movement Memory Objects at the Wellcome Collection, London, UK (2014); Green Tech Community, 55th Venice Biennale (2013); Albums, Whitechapel Gallery, London, UK (2012); Rituals, Freud Museum, London, UK (2011).
