Alexander Brandt
Founder/Creative Director
Alexander comes from a background of contemporary art and education. He was born in Germany in 1971. After graduating from the prime art college in Paris with the highest possible marks, he successfully led a parallel artistic and designer career with influential exhibitions on three continents. In 2005, he co-founded Xenario.Ltd in Shanghai, turning his passion for the synthesis of art and technology into a full-service exhibition design and production company.

Alexander continues his artistic practice with a particular focus on "Neo-utopian" projects and Behavioral Studies. He has been teaching in prestigious art colleges in France and China for ten years and was awarded the title of "Eastern Scholar" by the city of Shanghai. His book "New Art" is available through Chinese publishers and Amazon.com.

After more than ten years of leadership experience at Xenario, Alexander is still passionately involved in content curation, exhibition design, coding and all aspects of production. He has made it his personal goal to foster a team of dedicated professionals who share his strive to creating next exhibition standard.
