Alex Hedison (USA, b. 1969)
Alex Hedison is an artist and filmmaker living and working in Los Angeles. For the
past twenty years, Alex Hedison has worked primarily with large and medium format
cameras, in an effort to address the interstices between tradition and novelty by
exploring the transitions between the two. She presents her work in series, and her
photographs are a direct encounter between the individual and the immensity of the
landscape. Her most recent work, A Brief Infinity (2022) explored cameraless techniques
including chemigrams and hand-painted surfaces.
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Hedison received her BA from Antioch University
(2021) and previously studied at UCLA (1991) and SUNY Purchase (1989). Since 2017,
she has received solo exhibitions with H Gallery, Paris; Von Lintel Gallery, Los Angeles;
and recently with Shinsegae Gallery in Seoul, Korea. Her work was included in The
Stubborn Influence of Painting, Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art, Colorado
(2021), The Useful and the Decorative, The Landing, Los Angeles (2017); and Cadavre
Exquis, Craig Krull Gallery, Santa Monica; among others.
Hedison’s photographs are in the permanent collection of The Grunwald Center at the
Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; Beth Rudin DeWoody/Bunker Art Space, West Palm
Beach; and Barclays Capital, London.
In 2024, Hedison directed ALOK, a documentary short film which premiered at the
Sundance Film Festival. The film will be shown as part of the Sundance Shorts Tour at
the Wexner Center for the Arts, Columbus, OH; PhilaMOCA, Philadelphia, PA; and the
IFC Center in New York City; among others.
