Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.
Marten’s artistic practice suggests and speculates alternative models of allowing communicating knowledge and experiences by forming platforms in which for a brief moment stories, which are not yet governed by the primacy of reason can be brought forth. As a result the search for the transcendental is born in a space where play compels reality to surrender the dogma of its unconditional validity in order to flirt with possibility.
In her work Martens tends to examine the formation of beliefs and modes of discourse in a semi anthropological and playfully associative approach, in which the concept of estranged history is contemplated. Through the investigation of objects, images and symbols, the historical narrative and thought processes which have led our human development is questioned and furthermore altered to challenge the streams of information which have led to the conventions and principles of our norms and behaviours today.

2018Water op de Zon Alkovi Gallery Helsinki, Finland A collaborative exhibition by artist Alexandra Martens Serrano and curator Jussi Koitela; Water On The Sun was an offspring of their long term project Dragged Ways of Knowledge. Through a playful approach and the act of associating use and meaning, both real and fictitious; this presentation suggested certain artworks and enigmatic objects as vessels of information capable of transmission and transformation. These items are then ‘re-tuned’ to be able to perform differently, as every tune becomes an ode for the ontological secrecy of an object. alkovi.linnake.net/ Solo

2018Ondertussen STROOM Den Haag, Nederland n mei 2018 verbleef Alexandra Martens Serrano gedurende een maand als artist-in-residence bij Deltaworkers in New Orleans (VS), een nomadische ruimte opgericht door curator Maaike Gouwenberg en curator/kunstenaar Joris Lindhout. Hier richtte zij haar artistieke onderzoek op het concept van ‘gedomesticeerde objecten': objecten/beelden die fysiek en mentaal op nieuwe wijze worden toegeëigend na langdurige interactie met mensen. Met het onderzoek en het daaruit voortkomende werk reflecteerde zij op de mogelijkheden van voorwerpen om voertuigen van informatie en kennis te worden buiten de menselijke autoriteit om. Ideëen behorend tot ‘niet-rationele' gedachtensystemen werden onderzocht in relatie tot de unieke gekoloniseerde geschiedenis van New Orleans en diens hedendaagse mengeling van culturen en talen. Het onderzoek kwam voort uit Alexandra Martens Serrano's interesse voor de manieren waarop vormen van communicatie, kennis en overtuigingen zich ontwikkelen en zich manifesteren in culturen. stroom.nl/activiteiten/kleine_presentatie.php?kt_id=5251687 Solo
