Christopher Alessandrini graduated summa cum laude in English literature from Harvard College, where he won the Louis Begley Prize for Fiction. His writing on art has appeared in publications including The New York Review of Books, Interview Magazine, TheGuide.art, and The Brooklyn Rail, and his short story “Maverick Road” was included in the collection Five Stories for Philip Guston (Printed Matter and Karma, 2024). He is a managing editor and producer in the Digital Department at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, where he co-produces the archival-film series From the Vaults. His thesis considers how three contemporary artists—Doreen Lynette Garner, Mika Rottenberg, and Cao Fei—give visual and material form to exploitative labor practices and systems of knowledge production that are often rendered invisible.
