Alex Bag


Alex bag is a video artist. Her work often ties into popular art culture. She likes to satire a lot of other artist's work and make other artist laugh. In her C-prints "Crack Up" she went from parking garages to a Blockbuster store, from a psychiatrist's couch to McDonalds with her posed and costumed in each wearing big eye bulging orbs. Making points out of our culture today. In another one of her pieces she featured Art Club 2000 types and posed as a different drugged out zodiac in each one. Then each one of those signs was marked with an anarchy "A" in Bag's red lipstick.

From what I have seen of her work it seems alright. I don't think they are that interesting but they aren't that bad either. I definetly like the satire idea though. I think it is all the better that it is mostly about her peers as well.
