ALICE ANDERSON France, b. 1972

Overview
Alice Anderson proposes a poetic reflection on the evolution of the technological world, where A.I., the most powerful tool humans have invented, transforms the earth, society, and the body. 

 

Developing a performative practice over the past twenty years through various series of paintings and sculptures, Alice Anderson reconnects with the animated matter of our machines, composed of particles. 

 

Anderson’s rituals reactivate the profound link between the human and the nonhuman. Her solo and collective performances merge the intelligence of the body, which interacts with quantum fields, and the dynamic agency of objects as "actants."     

 

She observes, cares for, dances with, and engages in dialogue with objects and spaces, to participate in the creation of a Symbiocene era.

 

For Anderson, connecting with the earth, objects, or any form of beings creates a bridge to a sustainable future and contributes to healing from the impacts of the Anthropocene. It also acknowledges cultural diversity, inspires new perspectives, and opens paths toward a more inclusive and creative trajectory for all.

 
In 2023 Anderson won the SAM Prize for Contemporary Art. In 2020, she was nominated for the Prix Marcel Duchamp. Her work has been included in numerous institutional exhibitions, including, among others Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, Netherlands (2023); Centre Pompidou, Paris, France (2022); Fontevraud Museum of Modern Art, Fontevraud, France (2021); La Patinoire Royale Brussels, Brussels, Belgium (2021); Centre Pompidou, Paris, France (2020); Atelier Calder, Saché, France (2019); Royal Academy of Arts, London, UK (2017); Saatchi Gallery, London, UK (2016); Espace Culturel Louis Vuitton Paris, France (2015); Wellcome Collection, London, UK (2014); 55th Venice Biennale (2013); Whitechapel Gallery, London, UK (2012); Freud Museum, London, UK (2011).
