Alex Monteith’s works are made amidst contemporary sports, culture and social activities, often taking place in large-scale or extreme geographies. Through actions, performances, situations and time-based media such as film, video and sound, the works explore territorial, political and physical thresholds. Through her work, Monteith penetrates the physical and psychological space of individual and collective performative action. Her empathetic ability to work alongside high-performance practitioners in so many fields results in art works of tremendous beauty, power and magnetism. (Devenport 2010)
