alex/alexandra sofie jönsson




is a socially engaged artist working with queer, eco-critical imaginations of relations with the environment by engaging collective and pedagogical formats. They work with video, sound, sculpture, and building projects – often exploring how artistic practice can become a site of collective thinking and practice in response to institutional spaces and contexts, and thus their work is process-based, collaborative, and exploratory.

They have previously shown work at Art Center Nabi, Lewisham Hospital, Tate Modern, Kunsthal NORD and Roskilde Festival. They are one of the co-founders of lím collective, a platform based in Aalborg exploring artistic practices at the intersections of health and care, and a former organiser of Goldsmiths University collective The Open System Association, Autonomous Tech Fetish (ATF), and The Body Recovery Unit.

Lifedrawing the Attention Theft is a series of public life drawing sessions hosted by Deptford Community Cinema (2018-2019). Drawers were invited to study the  positions in which we are data-producing using digital devices, exploring the use of new technologies as a form of bodily labour. Shown in Body Politics of Data (2020), by Alexandra Jönsson, London Gallery West, Westminster University (UK). Models: Erica, Mel and Alex.

The project was kindly supported by the AHRC, Deptford Community Cinema, and Deptford Drawing Collective.
