Alex Quicho

Alex Quicho is a theorist, artist, and research director working across writing, video and live performance.

She has presented works internationally, including at transmediale (Berlin), Creamcake (Berlin), Frac île-de-france (Paris), Espace Niemeyer (Paris), Soft Power (Berlin), and Somerset House (London). Her nonfiction appears in Wired, Dazed, The White Review, The New Inquiry, Real Life, Flash Art, Cura, Bookforum, Art Review, Vogue, Vice, Adult, C, and elsewhere. She is the author of Small Gods.

Her work has been covered by New Models, Dazed [+], Spike [+], Bomb, 032c, The Face, The Margins, WIP, MIT Technology Review, Networked Worlds, and Institute of Network Cultures, and informed projects including Cute Accelerationism and Everyone Is A Girl.

She has collaborated with Singapore Art Museum, Power Station of Art, Julia Stoschek Collection, Rennie Museum, Nationalgalerie, and other institutions; and taught at Central Saint Martins, London College of Fashion, and Royal College of Art.

Her practice explores narrative and subjectivity in the post-platform age—assessing the unbreakable bonds between Girls & Gore; pleasure & violence; delusion & reality; and human & machine to find out “what is becoming of us.” Weakling, a novel on hot girls as adversarial infrastructure, is in development. She is from Manila and based in London.
