Alexandra Mein

Alexandra Leyre Mein (1979) lives and works in Brussels.

Alexandra Mein’s work explores the raw intersection of humanity and a secret world which she sees and manifests through sculptures and assemblages. This same vision in used when making costumes. She creates a universe that is on the limits of the rational and irrational. It is a world populated by anthropomorphic, hybrid creatures with a dimension of ambiguity and decorated with the disturbing beauty and the delicate monstrosity that resembles us.

Alexandra Leyre Mein graduated from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Antwerp, with a master degree in Fashion Design in 2004. She was invited to the summer sculpture residencies at the School for Visual Arts in New York in 2008.

Besides exhibits in Belgium she had a solo show in Snug Harbor, Newhouse Center for Contemporary Art NY, participated in a group exhibit in the Anton Kern gallery NYC…

She designed and produced the costumes for Venari, (Three Spells); choreographed and performed by Damien Jalet; and designed and produced the costumes for Wayn Traub’s Arkiologi in 2007.
