Alexandra Rubinstein is a Brooklyn-based conceptual artist whose practice focuses on how culture and gender affect power and narrative. She came to the United States from Russia when she was 9, and spent the magical years of puberty enduring the misogyny of both cultures. Through education, therapy, and self-help books, she worked to identify her feelings and channel her rage and resentment into her work. In said work, she challenges dated social systems and prejudices, and reconstructs the cis heterosexual female experience by transforming women from passive objects to active consumers. Taking back power and control, without taking centuries of oppression too seriously. When she's not working, she can be found running around Prospect Park, reading in the park, drinking wine at a bar near the park, and basically not leaving her neighborhood. She's still in therapy and it's going ok. undefined
