Alice Hargrave is a photo based artist working in Chicago, IL. She incorporates sound and video within layered installations of her photographic imagery in space. Her work reflects on the notion of impermanence: environmental insecurity, habitat loss, and species extinctions. Hargrave recently collaborated with The Cornell Lab of Ornithology NY, to create her project Last Calls/Pink Noise— portraits of threatened birds using sound waves of their last calls in the wild.
Hargrave’s work is included in several permanent collections such as The Museum of Contemporary Photography, The Art Institute of Chicago Artist Book Collection, The Ruttenberg Collection, Nuveen Corporation, and Hyatt Corp. Her work is exhibited widely: The Museum of Contemporary Photography, Yale University Art Gallery, The Smart Museum, The Tweed Museum of Art MN, Art Metz, France, The Griffin Museum of Photography MA, 516 Arts Gallery Albuquerque NM, Newspace Center for Photography Portland OR, among others. She has received many awards, and has been published and reviewed in several journals such as Huffington Post, BBC News, and ARTNET. Hargrave, formerly a full-time professor at Columbia College Chicago, currently has decided to teach part-time while pursuing commissions and conservation work.
