Ana Alenso creates assemblages, installations, videos, and photographs that delve into the entanglements of conflicts and paradoxes rooted in the petrocultures of past centuries. Her work is shaped by field studies and multidisciplinary exchanges, with a focus on materiality and ecology through the use of post-industrial elements and experimental processes. The result is a poetic yet darkly dystopian artistic language that serves both as a warning and an allure, shedding light on the dangerous ambivalence of society's relationship with nature and extractivism.
In recent years, the Venezuelan artist, now based in Berlin, has exhibited her work at the following venues and institutions: Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin (2024); Casa Encendida, Madrid (2024); die neue Gesellschaft für bildende Kunst (2024), Kunsthalle Wilhelmshaven (2024), Kunstverein Arnsberg, Arnsberg (2024); Kunsthalle Färgfabriken, Stockholm (2024);Kunstverein Reutlinge (2023); Werkleitz Festival, (2023); Der Neue Berliner Kunstverein in Berlin (2023), KAI 10 Foundation, Düsseldorf,(2022); Geneva Biennale: Sculpture Garden, Switzerland (2022); Museum of Modern Art, Warsaw (2022); TEA Tenerife Espacio de Arte, Spain (2022); Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg (2021); Stavanger Museum, Norway (2020), Galerie Wedding Berlin (2020), Urbane Künste Ruhr (2021); Brücke Museum, Berlin, (2019); Atonal Festival, Kraftwerk Berlin (2021); Cabilla; and Terrestrial Assemblage, Floating University, Berlin (2020).
