Alexis Ruiseco Lombera is an artist making from the intersection of being non-binary and Latine. Fluidly working across performance, video, photography, and sculpture, they stage creative interruptions as a meditation on the conditions of the personal and collective body, and its proximity to gendered violence and migrant identity. Articulated through installation or descriptive durational performances, their work interrogates the links between border crossing, exile, modes of mobilizing, death, and archive.
In 2016, they graduated with a BFA from Parsons in New York. Ruiseco Lombera has exhibited work at Brooklyn Museum, NY; 00Bienal De La Habana, Cuba; The Bronx Museum of the Arts, NY; Milk Gallery, NY; Galleria Menjunje, Cuba; Andrew Freedman Home, NY; Leslie Lohman Museum, NY; Knockdown Center, NY; Visual AIDS, NY; Company Gallery, NY; Baxter St CCNY, NY; MDC Kendal Art Gallery, Miami; Kellen and Aronson Gallery, NY. They have performed at MoMA for Tania Bruguera, Adrian Piper, and Simone Forti. They were a resident at the Marble House Project and fellow of En Foco Photography, TU Cuba, and AIM at the Bronx Museum. Ruiseco Lombera’s work has been featured in Vogue, Wallpaper, VICE, W Magazine, NEWSPAPER, and Nueva Luz.
