Alex Baczynski-Jenkins — À propos — Slash Paris

Born in 1987 in London, Alex Baczynski-Jenkins lives and works between Warsaw and London. As an artist and choreographer, he is renowned for his exploration of queer affect, embodiment, and relationality through performances, installations, and films. His work interrogates the political structures of desire, vulnerability, and collectivity, often developed in collaboration with performers and communities. Baczynski-Jenkins co-founded the queer-feminist collective Kem in Warsaw, a space for creation and reflection on engaged artistic practices.
His recent solo exhibitions include presentations at Foksal Gallery Foundation (Warsaw, 2018), Chisenhale Gallery (London, 2017), and Palais de Tokyo (Paris, 2017). He has also participated in the 58th Venice Biennale (2019) and the Sâlmon x MACBA Festival (Barcelona, 2023). In 2024, his debut feature film, Such Feeling, premiered at the Nowe Horyzonty Film Festival and the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw. In 2025, his performance Malign Junction (Goodbye, Berlin), inspired by Christopher Isherwood’s novel, was staged at Gropius Bau in Berlin, probing the city’s political tensions.
Baczynski-Jenkins is represented by institutions such as Lafayette Anticipations (Paris) and Foksal Gallery Foundation (Warsaw). His work, both poetic and political, continues to redefine the boundaries between art, body, and public space.
