About — Alejandro Medina

Alejandro Medina (b. 1995, Guatemala) is an interdisciplinary artist and architect whose work centers on emergence. Investigating how complex behaviors and systems arise through relational interactions. Drawing on an ecological and systems-based perspective, Medina conceives exhibitions as “speculative ecologies,” integrating rule-based frameworks, generative instructions, and contracts to embed evolutionary processes and instability as core components of the work and the process of its making, interactions, engagement and evolution as part of different contexts.

Medina holds a Master of Science in Art, Culture and Technology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Southern California. He has exhibited internationally, with solo exhibitions at La Nueva Fábrica (Guatemala) and MIT’s Wiesner Gallery (Cambridge), alongside group exhibitions in Europe, Asia, and the Americas. His work has been recognized with numerous fellowships, grants and residencies including support from MIT’s Center for Art, Science & Technology (CAST) and residencies at Salmon Creek Farm, Cité Internationale des Arts, and Fondazione Pistoletto amongst others.
