Alexa Kusber

Biography

Alexa Jeanne Kusber is an American independent curator and creative based in Zurich. Throughout her career she has maintained a focus on questioning and expanding the

notion of curating. She currently is the Public Programming Curator at the Museum of Digital Art (MuDA) in Zurich where she attempts to disrupt and strengthen the practice of cultural mediation. Concurrently she curates a residency program at the Verbier 3-D Foundation, creating a space for artists and experimentation to meet in an alternative context in which the artists’ practices are challenged to create cutting-edge contemporary art in relation to place.

Before moving to Switzerland in 2015, she had spent eight years in London working independently as curator and arts manager developing exhibitions and educational programs (such as »From Now to Eternity«, »Disappearing Moon« and »[re]locate«) and collaboratively with organizations such as ACE (Arts Council England) and The British Council. Alexa was part of the small team that developed The Museum of Everything in 2009, and went on to manage a dynamic cultural project for Ralph Lauren, much of which involved supporting young international artists throughout Europe through exhibition and educational programs.

She has written and contributed to publications such as »Surface Magazine« and NextLevel« and is currently working on the publication »In Search of Frankenstein« with British artist Chloe Dewe Mathews.
