For Contemporary and Country, Alexander Costello will be pursuing recent endeavours concerning process, material, struggle, calamity, balance and form with a series of large cardboard interventions that will be located at Woolmarket House.
Alexander Costello (b.1976, London) is an award winning sculptor, video and performance artist who graduated with an MFA from the Slade School in 2001, following a First Class Honours in Fine Art at Middlesex University.
Ideas and work are generated through an interest in challenging and exposing the everyday absurdity of perceived normality; the simultaneous pursuit of the infinite and finite; the origin and location of idea; and the exploration of processes that are in themselves the truth in the work, often undermined by a resulting outcome. Misinterpretation and miscommunication of action and language, and an impulse to consistently re-consider form and composition, support and bring balance to endeavours.
Sculptures created on the night will be presented in th exhibition along with streaming of historic performances of Alex Costello.
