Alex Morrison

Canada

Morrison’s practice spans an interest in architecture, memory and projection, identity and authenticity, notions of domestic and public space and the contentions arising from these delineations. He holds a particular interest in how a museum’s politics and anxieties surrounding the perception of art works can be readily applied to the policing of action, use and perception in the ‘street’. These interests have culminated in various projects that have attempted, through documentation and original works to map these terrains.

He has self-published and distributed his own books, published articles and artists projects for various publications, made drawings and sculptures as well as produced photographs, posters and videos.

During his residence in Berlin, he plans to set about a routine of observation, documentation, research and note taking. A few of his existing, ongoing, projects are readily applicable to Berlin, aspects of the city will automatically figure seamlessly into his practice. At the same time research and documentation will involve a multi-disciplinarian approach comprising of possible works in the public sphere as well as the gallery space.
