Martyna Alexander is a Detroit-based artist and designer whose work often compares the strange harmony of opposites like the strict and systematic to the expressive, organic, and spontaneous - oppositions that mirror the many tensions of her cultural multiplicity and modern life. Her practice examines labor and how to use our time to healthfully survive in modern society in balance with the harsh contrasts of multiple cultures, ideologies, and identities.She most recently opened a solo exhibition in Chicago, hosted two solo exhibitions at PLAYGROUND DETROIT in Detroit, as well as Spain, Tokyo and fairs across the US. Recent residencies include Almost Perfect, Tokyo in 2022 and Vermont Studio Center in 2024. She is an alumnus of the University of Michigan Stamps School of Art and Design, 2012.
