Alexander Stubbs
Works







Marker-structures (2026-) Since January 2026, Alexander Stubbs and Lucy Grubb have been exchanging new work through the post, developing a new dialogical practice around communication, archival research, land extraction, and D.I.T methodologies. 

Using local postal services and envelopes as a way to connect across geographic distance (Coventry, and Hull, UK), this new work has been extracted through writing, drawing, photography, research, and archives in an attempt to rupture, and reveal our do-it-together (D.I.T) sound.




I will meet you here (2025-)
 I will meet you here is an invitation to exist with others in public spaces.

Exploring the potential of somewhat forgotten spaces in a city, such as public seating areas and hidden greenspaces, I will meet you here is a framework for togetherness; for empowerment and taking back public space.

Each gathering begins with a meeting place, a short walk, and a destination; through creative exploration of underused public spaces, we collectively challenge our agency in the world around us and – hopefully – create a new feeling of togetherness.

I will meet you here is a collaboration between Alexander Stubbs and Wes Foster.

CONTAINER WORKS (2026-)
 CONTAINER WORKS is a developing space made from a wall vitrine, installed behind a row of terraced houses. It is located at the end of a tenfoot* and is secured to a red brick wall.

It's a space for artists to show their work in a new context; one which is part-public, part-domestic. 

A thinking space, a testing space, an unfinished space.

* Tenfoot is a word commonly used to describe a passageway in the City of Hull in East Yorkshire and the surrounding area, so called due to the passageway being 10ft wide.

TYPELOOPS (2024-) TYPELOOPS is an operation led by artist collaborators The Aimless Archive and Alexander Stubbs. It is a meditation on and framework for correspondence, collaboration, and communication. 

Each performance includes two typewriters and a single loop of paper fed between them. Over a fixed period of time, we communicate to each other via the medium of the typewriter, creating long written pieces which eventually become overwritten, edited, and rewritten as time elapses. 

Working with multidisciplinary artist Jay Moy, we have included elements of sound recording, editing, and performance to accompany the text-based work, resulting in a four-track CD and tape titled TYPELOOPS DOCUMENTATION. 

Performances:

Hull Artist Research Initative, Hull, UK.
Electro Studios Project Space, St Leonards-On-Sea, UK.



Slow acts of speaking (or, the voice as a document of presence) (2026) Slow acts of speaking (or, the voice as a document of presence) utilises DIY broadcast radio, writing, drawing , archival photographs, and audio recordings as methods for transmitting words.

Interrogating the shifting relationship between oral, aural, mark making, and photography, this work asks whether words ‘take-on’ meaning through the act of being spoken or can they create their own meaning before they are read aloud.





SPECTATE: Video Essays (2026) Disseminating the artist’s voice alongside archival images and videos, these video essays unearth accidental relationships between words and pictures. In compositions of aural and visual melodies, order becomes unclear and the repetition of the image is at times overwhelming.
