Alex Bienstock, 1987, grew up in West Orange, NJ but was born in NYC and now lives in Brooklyn. He works with images, objects, video, sound/music, curation, social media, text, books, and live performance, yet doesn’t really distinguish those things from everyday public and private life. He's released four books with Contain, Safety Propaganda, Memory Pill, and Tukyo and has been published in Art in America and Cultured Magazine, as well as participating in solo and group exhibitions all over the world, including Italy, UK, Germany, Switzerland, and Australia. He has also been in screenings at Cinema Village, Film Noir Cinema, Anthology Film Archives in NYC, the Roxie Theater in San Francisco, and Roxy Cinema New York, as well as performing at the Queens Museum in NYC. He appeared in the first cut of Angelicism's Film01 and Peter Vack's WWW.RACHELORMONT.COM. Attitude, collaboration, and the celebration of both aesthetic and non-aesthetic variety are his main priorities. His studio is placeless, his thoughts are nomadic, and his beliefs are heretical, 10/8/24.
