    Alex Callender: Materiality Meets Content

    Alex Callender has had solo exhibitions and projects at the Center for the Arts Northeastern University, UMass Contemporary Museum of Art, NYU Gallatin Galleries, Rubber Factory (NY), and Michigan State University’s LookOut Gallery. She has held artist residencies with MacDowell Colony, The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, The Drawing Center’s Open Session program, Art in Embassies Program, The Vermont Studio Center, the Santa Fe Art Institute, Alice Yard in Trinidad, and DRAWinternational and The BAU Institute in France. Raised in NYC, Callender is currently an Associate Professor of Art at Smith College and lives and works in Western Massachusetts. Alex Callender uses methods of drawings, painting and installation to trace and remap historical materials as a means to explore with both criticality and care, how we might disentangle the interwoven relations of race, gender, and capitalism. Drawing largely from archival sources her work engages the mythic and residual forms of coloniality to think about ways that we orient ourselves to the past; using different visual modes of annotation, hybrid narratives, and speculative storytelling, Callender recontextualizes static (or seemingly fixed) renderings of history to consider their relationship to social forces like scale, time, and memory.   LINKS:  alexcallender.com   @alexiscallender       I Like Your Work Links: Thank you to our sponsor Sunlight Tax!
