| James
Rodger Alexander, Professor of Art (MFA, Louisiana State
University; MArch Urban Design, Cornell University; BArch,
Cornell University). Trained as both an architect and as
a sculptor, James Rodger Alexander has consistently utilized
form to articulate and delineate space rather than simply
define the sculptural object. The conceptual framework of
his sculptural thinking is architectural in nature, involving
the reconsideration and assemblage of existing materials
and manufactured parts into formal structures, which modulate,
activate, capture, and contain space.
Alexander’s work has been widely exhibited at various
venues, and he has curated exhibitions and published works
about architectural terra cotta, vernacular architecture,
and the use of public posters as political propaganda.
Alexander has received grant support from the Alabama State
Council on the Arts, the Alabama Humanities Foundation,
the National Endowment for the Arts, the Graham Foundation
for Advanced Studies in the Fine arts as well as support
from Faculty Research Grants and the Provost Research Grant
program at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. |
