Alice Anderson
London-born Alice Anderson, born in 1972, is an artist who lives and works in the same city. She positions her artistic practice at the intersection of movement inspired by ancestral cultures and the all-pervasive domain of technology and its algorithmic systems. Her animistic approach calls for a complete reconnection with nature through ritual dance, emphasizing "human/non-human interactions." Anderson is among the rare artists who create paintings and sculptures during performances, reimagining and re-examining the wired connections between consciousness, body, and machine. In 2020, she was a nominee for the Prix Marcel Duchamp.
Anderson's research in anthropology and ecofeminism has led her to explore other dimensions and relationships to nature through dance, which has included living with the Kogi Community in Colombia.
Anderson's work has featured in several institutional exhibitions, including "A Worlds of Networks" at the Centre Pompidou, Paris, France (2022); "Female Power Figures" at the Fontevraud Museum of Modern Art, Fontevraud, France (2021); "Geometric Dances" at La Patinoire Royale Brussels, Brussels, Belgium (2021); "Prix Marcel Duchamp nominees" at the Centre Pompidou, Paris, France (2020); "Paintingscultures" at Atelier Calder, Saché, France (2019); "Lift" at the Royal Academy of Arts, London, UK (2017); "181 Kilometres" at the Saatchi Gallery, London, UK (2016); "Data Space" at Espace Culturel Louis Vuitton Paris, France (2015); "Memory Movement Memory Objects" at the Wellcome Collection, London, UK (2014); "Green Tech Community" at the 55th Venice Biennale (2013); "Albums" at the Whitechapel Gallery, London, UK (2012); and "Rituals" at the Freud Museum, London, UK (2011).
