Alexandra Bell (born 1983) is an American multidisciplinary artist.[1] She is best known for her series Counternarratives, large scale paste-ups of New York Times articles edited to challenge the presumption of "objectivity" in news media.[2] Using marginalia, annotation, redaction, and revisions to layout and images, Bell exposes racial and gender biases embedded in print news media.[3]
Bell's work has appeared in major group and solo exhibitions across the United States, including the 2019 Whitney Biennial, which featured a newly commissioned series of prints titled No Humans Involved: After Sylvia Wynter, which looks at the
New York Daily News’ reporting of the
Central Park Five case. Among other accolades, Bell received the 2018
International Center of Photography Infinity Award[8] in the applied category and was a 2018
Open Society Soros Equality Fellow.[9]
