Alex Schady is an artist and filmmaker with a broad interdisciplinary practice. His work uses materials immediately to hand, incorporating modern-life ephemera that is manipulated and re-interpreted across a variety of media. Combining craft techniques and digital processes his most recent work uses the language of science fiction to explore the psyche of contemporary culture.

Alongside his own practice he works collaboratively with Hadas Kedar, an Israeli artist. Based 2,000 miles apart they produce work by establishing rules and instructions, only coming together on-site to construct the final installations. In 2009, they are completing a public art commission for Tontine Street Studios in Folkestone.

Alex Schady is also co-founder of an artist-run gallery space, Five Years. Founded in 1998, Five Years enables artists to develop links between the production and curation of visual art, and to explore the processes and discourses of exhibiting.
