Dreams of New Architecture
29.05.23 02.06.23
Alexandra (Alex) Bayer is an American artist who came to ´ace to do a micro-Residency in our studio. Alex studied creative writing and visual art at Stanford University, then went on to do a Masters in Fine Art program at the National Institute of Dramatic Art in Sydney, Australia, where she studied playwriting and screenwriting. She has primarily been focusing on her writing and teaching the last few years, and not as much on her visual art practice—but lately she has felt the calling to dive into it again, which is why she came to ´ace. Before coming to Buenos Aires, Alex attended a 3-weeks residency in the Atacama Desert through La Wayaka Current.
Alex’s love for printmaking digs deep especially in monotypes, and she took the chance to dive into this technique during her micro-Residency. The project she kickstarted at ´ace was be a series of prints and sketches that take inspiration from the Atacama Desert and merges these with her dreams and visions of the story that has been appearing in her imagination, Dreams of New Architecture.
