David Altmejd
David Altmejd (b. 1974, Montreal) explores the constitution and disintegration of the self. His work is a unique and heady mix of science and magic, science fiction and gothic romanticism: a post-apocalyptic vision which is at the same time essentially optimistic, containing as it always does the potential for regeneration, evolution and invention. His interest lies in the making of an object which generates its meaning. Altmejd lives and works in Los Angeles and is represented by Xavier Hufkens, White Cube, and David Kordansky Gallery.
