2025
Alexander Brix Tillegreen is a visual artist and composer based between Copenhagen and Berlin, and is currently artist-in residence in London. He studied at the Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main, and his artistic practice spans painting, sound installation, sculpture and music composition. His works often explore how sound, language, and spatial and visual perception reflect both the collective and individual subconscious — drawing on psychoacoustics, abstraction, and embodied listening.
Tillegreen has exhibited internationally with solo and group shows at institutions such as Overgaden Institute of Contemporary Art (DK), Museum Tinguely (CH), Kunsthalle Darmstadt (DE), CCA Glasgow (UK), MMK Museum für Moderne Kunst (DE), Kunstverein Göttingen (DE), Simian (DK), Kunstforeningen GL Strand (DK), Den Frie Centre of Contemporary Art (DK), and the National Gallery of Denmark.
His music and sound works have been performed and commissioned by venues and festivals including Roskilde Festival, Berghain, Darmstädter Ferienkurse für Neue Musik, Nordic Music Days, and ISCM World New Music Days. His debut album in words was released by the renowned label Rastermedia, and he has conducted artistic research as a fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics in Frankfurt.
