ALEXANDRA HUNTS

Does knowledge lead to understanding? With my work I try to cut through the disciplinary boundaries of academia and disturb the lines between legitimate and illegitimate forms of knowledge. From this perspective I would like to discuss the changing role of the artist in the process of creation of the works of art, without getting involved in the capitalist segregation of labour. I also try to reformulate the term "production", to wrest it from its association with the neoliberal economics and politics of today... Each of my projects is very investigative, starting with a long and entangled research into a topic, which often leads to a complex discord of social, historical and political narratives. I try to dig into a subject's history, to explore the complexity of the unknown, to collect different types of knowledge outside the frame. I have become obsessed with the investigation of material, the mastering of skills, and the obtaining of information.
