Alice Hackney — UK New Artists

Alice cares about the connection between people and the landscapes that surround them. In her practice, she combines scientific precision and inquiry with ideas of homeland and community to make herself a place within the systems around her - biological, generational, social, cartographic - and explores the simultaneous strength and vulnerability of our natural world. She imagines that every patch of earth is someone’s special place, and she would love to introduce you to hers.

Alice holds a first class BFA in Fine Art from The Ruskin School of Art, University of Oxford (St John’s College). Previously, she completed an Art Foundation at Manchester School of Art, where her piece Memorial for Hyde won the award for best work in the foundation show.

Alongside this, Alice is a founding member of The Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities' Art Biodiversity and Climate Network, and is the co-director of art collective MIXER//SHREDDER, a collaborative making and discussion group, with which she exhibited at Modern Art Oxford’s EMPRES The Art of Noises festival. Currently she is also a performer in Marina Abramovic's Gates and Portals exhibition.
