BIOGRAPHY
Alex Covert is a self-taught multidisciplinary artist originally from the United States, currently based in Amsterdam. At the moment her focus lies on the intersection of painting and performance, exploring the power of vulnerability as she attempts to shed her conditioned layers to discover her authentic self. Alex's performances are about taking off masks - there is no makeup, no costume, no role to play, and no choreography. She bares herself completely, showing the audience her soul, her creative process, and her unfiltered form.
WORK DESCRIPTION
Vulnerability / Power
A visual exploration of vulnerability and the resulting experience of empowerment. In this performance, the artist sheds as many layers as possible: blindfolding herself to restrict visibility and removing her clothes as an act of full surrender. She performs an expressive dance to the music while creating an artwork, unattached to the outcome of the piece.
