biography
Alex Kuusik b.1991 in Bristol, UK. He received his BA in Fine Art from Glasgow School of Art and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. His work explores the ways in which agency moves from the individual into society, and how meaning is maintained as part of an ongoing ‘stabilising’ process. Seven four seven
In his two channel video work Seven four seven, Alex Kuusik (Bristol, UK, 1991) shows images simultaneously which, at first sight, are very different: a plane spotter filming a Boeing 747 and bronze bells that are being played by a carillonneur. KLM’s jumbo jet is without passengers after it has become obsolete due to Covid-19. On the other screen a carillonneur is playing without an audience. Even the offices across the street are empty. The sound that breaks the silence is what connects the two videos. SHARE
