The disruptive nature of the various techniques devised by Alex Bunn are intended to celebrate the fringes of experience: A domain where we might gain insights into how our minds generate and navigate the world.
He has shown widely internationally in Oslo, Copenhagen, London, NYC, LA, Brussels and Tokyo at institutions such as The Royal Institution, The Victoria & Albert Museum, Kunsthal Charlottenborg and Trafo Kunsthall.

I mitt atelier
Our studios and project space: Oslo Hot Megazone comprises 5 studios accommodating 6 artists over two levels.
We share spacious studios with a kitchen, communal space and sofas where people can convene and socialize in comfort. Refreshments will be provided. We invite people to stick around for an informal program of discussions and low-key events. Most of the artists will be present.
I invite people to come and see the array of techniques I use to create art including 3D design, mold-making, sculpting and novel techniques. There will also be previously unseen artworks and plenty of work-in-progress to peruse.
Planlagte prosjekter og utstillinger
I will have a solo show at KB contemporary opening soon before Oslo Open.
Exact dates are to be confirmed but the two may connect or slightly overlap. Anyone interested in one should certainly visit the other.
