Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg
Artist
Dr Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg is a multidisciplinary artist examining our fraught relationships with nature and technology. Through artworks, writing and curatorial projects, Ginsberg’s work explores subjects as diverse as , synthetic biology, conservation, biodiversity and evolution, as she investigates the human impulse to ‘better’ the world.
In 2017, Ginsberg completed Better, her PhD by practice, at London’s Royal College of Art (RCA), interrogating how powerful dreams of ‘better’ futures shape the things that get designed. She read architecture at the University of Cambridge, was a visiting scholar at Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts and received her MA in Design Interactions from the RCA.
Ginsberg exhibits internationally, including at the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo; Centre Pompidou, Paris and Royal Academy of Arts, London. Her work is held in private and museum permanent collections, including the Art Institute of Chicago; Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, New York; Therme Art, Berlin and ZKM Karlsruhe.
