Lisa Alembik is an artist, educator, and curator. She is an associate professor of art at Georgia State University Perimeter College. From 2002 until 2013 she was the gallery director at Agnes Scott College.
Alembik’s artwork centers on the fragility of corporeality, and how cultural and political ideas of nature and home often rest in the female body. She considers the suffering of those torn and traumatized through forced diaspora, both the atrocities of current events and history—especially those perpetrated against those who identify as women. Alembik’s drawings, paintings and installations have been exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia, the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center, City College Art Gallery in San Francisco, CA and the Hyde Gallery at Memphis College of Art, TN among other venues. She curates exhibitions throughout the Southeast, most recently at Whitespace Gallery, Atlanta and the Bascom in Highlands, NC.
