Biography

Alice Cohen is an animator and musician living in Brooklyn, NY. She has composed and released recordings over many years in a wide variety of contexts including New Wave band The Vels, Die Monster Die in the 90s, and more experimental solo work in recent yearsl. Her visual work is informed by her musical history as well as an ongoing interest in mystical and metaphysical worlds. Drawn to the colors and printing techniques of bygone eras, Cohen has incorporated these elements into her current animation work, recycling found imagery from old books and magazines to create surreal dreamscapes. In addition to dozens of music videos created for bands, her animation work has been shown in screenings, galleries and museums, including Microscope Gallery, The New Museum, Filmmaker’s Coop, Anthology Film Archives, LA Film Forum, and the Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw, Poland.
