BIO Born, Santa Barbara, California, 1979 Alanna photographs herself. Her images are cathartic responses to ideas, relationships and emotionally charged situations. Currently she is in the process of developing new work dealing with endurance and tension by performing for a motion picture camera. Her most recently completed photo series is Cringe, where she recreates moments of intense self-criticism, disgust and shame in intimate self-portraits. Everything I can do you can do better is an ongoing photo project (undertaken in lieu of going back to school for an MFA) where she recreates iconic and personally significant images of her art-heroes-- the likes of Bruce Nauman, David Bowie, Wolfgang Tillmans and Klaus Nomi. Alanna often works in collaboration with Carolyn Radlo in both video and photography. As C + A Projects, the pair deal with social and political situations communicated through sparse text and evocative imagery. They like to work with words, images, and meaning without necessarily relying on narrative or linearity. Many of their projects focus on the exchange of ideas between them, the differences and similarities that show up in their work made side by side, but always guided and supported by chance. Their life-long, multi-faceted collaboration has, in recent years, evolved from mother-daughter to artist-artist. The pair are excited to announce that their fifteen-part video installation, THE GRANDFATHERS will be exhibited at the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco starting 4 November 2011 through 29 January 2012. They are also pleased to be screening and this forest will be a desert in Masters on Main Street, Catskill Film and Video Festival at the Catskill Community Theater in Catskill, NY on 29 January, 2012. Announcements of exhibitions, screenings and associated events will be posted on the news + updates blog as details become available. Lost off the coast of Brazil since 2008, postcards from their Conversations collaboration can now be purchased online. Alanna's other recent collaborations include creating the video elements for Seth Eisen's solo performance Blackbird, camera work and production design for Clean White Lines music videos, as well as an on-going video project with Heather Lucas, Films That My Mind Makes.
