Sixteen:One presents Alexandra A. Grant, in her first solo exhibition, “Homecomings,” on March 20th, with a reception from 7-10 p.m. Grant investigates the complex and shifting maps of community and identity which language weaves and rends. This exhibition, inspired by the myth of Ulysses explores the vastly complex and emotionally compelling idea of "homecomings".

Grant has examined ideas of interpretation, identity, and dis/location not only in drawings, sculptures and painting but also in conversations with other artists and writers, such as poet Wislawa Szymborska and her current collaborator, hypertext writer Michael Joyce. Having grown up in Mexico, France and the United States, and being multi-lingual, she is constantly engaged in investigations of translation not only from language to language, but also from text to image, from spoken language to written words, from representations in two dimensions to three dimensional objects. Some of the basic queries that fuel her work are: How do we "read" and "write" art? How can one render in space the thought process? How does language place us?
