A rare conversation with Alexandra Grant
April 1, 2011
A select group was invited to Alexandra Grant’s studio in a historical building near downtown L.A. last week. We witnessed beautiful works from her “Bodies” exhibit at Honor Fraser Gallery (2010) as well as her latest large-scale works which drew gasps of awe from our guests. Alexandra generously shared her experience of working closely with Helen Cixous, Michael Joyce and Keanu Reeves on her various collaborations. With Reeves, their recent output comes in the form of an exquisitely produced Gerhard Steidl book called “Ode To Happiness” with hauntingly evocative drawings by Grant. We were also clued in to what’s next for this prolific & dynamic artist. Currently, her work can be viewed at LACMA’s “Human Nature: Contemporary Art from the Collection” until July 4, 2011 at BCAM, level 2. ”Ode to Happiness” could be purchased through Honor Fraser Gallery – www.HonorFraser.com or call (310) 837.0191.
