Alexandra Bischoff

Alexandra Bischoff (born 1991 in Edmonton, Alberta)[1] is a Canadian artist who works primarily in performance, with an emphasis on sexuality and feminism.

[3] Bischoff's artistic practice, primarily in performance, video, and text, responds to the complexities of female sexuality and is influenced by her research engaging with archives.

[4] Bischoff's archival research led to the Rereading Room, an exhibition of the Vancouver Women's Bookstore's inaugural 1973 catalogue.

The Rereading Room initially was at exhibited at 221A in 2016-17[5] and, in 2018, was included in the Beginning with the Seventies: GLUT at the Morris and Helen Belkin Gallery.

In 2017, Decoy Magazine published Happenstance, a series of temporary artworks by eleven artists including Bischoff, who worked in public spaces in the city of Vancouver.
