Alice Z Jones : Madness is a Shadow Chasing Freedom 5 December 2025 – 7 February 2026 Galerie Anton Janizewski, Berlin

To enter Madness is a Shadow Chasing Freedom is to cross into a zone where sound, textile, clay, and salt gather not as mediums but as cosmologies—improvised, diasporic, and insistently porous. Alice Z Jones constructs the exhibition through an acute awareness of how artistic practice is not merely a site of production but a terrain of wake work, to borrow from Christina Sharpe’s lexicon: a process of tending to, and being in ceremony with Black life in the wake of slavery and histories of systemic violence.

Affirming that writing is inseparable from her making, Jones signals a commitment to an embodied research throughout the exhibition presented at Anton Janizewski, following her graduation from the MA in Fine Arts at the University of the Arts Berlin. Her background in languages (German and Russian), coupled with her British-Jamaican upbringing, generates a linguistic multiplicity that shapes her understanding of text, sound, and object as co-constitutive.
