Alex Branch is an interdisciplinary artist whose work often requires or implies the involvement of a human body to activate and realize the piece. The objects and installations she makes can be architectural, acoustic, kinetic. A person can be housed inside them, traverse the water in them. They can be worn or flipped through. They can be played or simply looked at but even in the looking, the body is imagined.

Her work has been supported by The Foundation for Contemporary Arts, Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, ApexArt International Research Fellowship and Blue Mountain Center among others. She has built site specific projects in New Mexico, St. Louis, and Florida. Her work has been exhibited in New York, Chicago, Montreal, Houston, Seattle, Denver, St. Louis, and Albuquerque.

Artists take viewers behind the scenes of their studio practice with insights into their processes, inspirations and artwork. Moderated by BMoCA’s Associate Curator of Community Engagement this Instagram Live series is an initiative to support local artists and give viewers the opportunity to take a closer look at art practices and ask questions to contemporary artists.
