Alex Frost

Alex Frost is a British contemporary artist, exhibiting internationally. Background Alex Frost currently lives and works in Manchester, UK where he teaches Art and Design at The University of Salford. Exhibitions Frost's often humorous work addresses the fluid boundaries between public and private space, the virtual and physical, the temporal and permanent. He is best known for his large mosaic sculptures that depict product packaging and branding. These have been included in exhibitions at Dundee Contemporary Arts, Venice Biennale, Milton Keynes Gallery, Studio Voltaire and Frieze Sculpture Park. In 2018, he devised ‘Wet Unboxing’, a series of videos he uploaded onto YouTube. In these videos he opened products underwater. The products were all symbolic of a life on the go’, a lifestyle of super-convenience. Vice Motherboard described these videos as ‘a proto-meme—a precious, terrifying embryo—of the next new trend’.
