Alex Martinis Roe

Alex Martinis Roe is a current fellow of the Graduate School at the University of the Arts, Berlin. She holds a PhD in fine art from Monash University, Australia, which developed feminist artistic methodologies that attempt to contribute to a collective politics of difference. Her current work focuses on the genealogical relationship between the practice of new feminist materialism and sexual difference feminisms, seeking to foster specific and productive relations between different generations. This involves developing research and storytelling methodologies, which employ nonlinear understandings of time, respond to the specific practices of different communities, experiment with the dispositives of discursive encounter, and imagine how these entanglements can inform new political practices. In addition to her current research projects, “To Become Two” and “Our Future Network,” she is exploring these methodological concerns in collaboration with theorist Melanie Sehgal within the framework of the Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW). Recent exhibitions and events include: “Once I wrote the story of her life, because by then I knew it by heart,” Rongwrong, Amsterdam (2014); “Manifestos Show: Act I, Inessential Fathers,” Archive Kabinett and Berlin Art Week (2014); “Affirmative Practices,” HKW, Berlin (2014); “Making Room: Spaces of Anticipation,” ar/ge Kunst Galerie Museum, Bolzano (2014); “A Story from Circolo della rosa,” Archive Kabinett, Berlin (2014); “Wahala,” SAVVY Contemporary, Berlin (2013); “NEW13,” Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (2013); “Collective Biographies,” Bibliothekswohnung, Berlin (2012); “Post-planning,” Ian Potter Museum of Art, Melbourne (2012); “Non-writing Histories,” Artspace, Sydney (2012); “Genealogies: Frameworks for Exchange,” Pallas Projects, Dublin (2011); “HaVE A LoOk!
