Alex Grünenfelder is a Canadian and Swiss artist and designer studying the sensory and relational nature of landscapes. His work employs performance, printed matter, informal pedagogy, and expanded sensory modalities of tasting. Through adapting and transforming historical and present-day landscape-oriented vernacular practices, his work seeks a deeper engagement with place. Current projects focus on the sensory analysis of atmospheric phenomena, and the medical history of the Air Cure and Milk Cure as site-specific climatic therapies.
His work has been exhibited in Canada, USA, South Korea, Switzerland and Sweden, and has been recognized with grants from the Canada Council for the Arts and the British Columbia Arts Council.
