Alex Wolfe

I’m an artist and writer from Iowa, USA, living in New York City. My writing and photography explore the relationship between movement, the built environment, and memory.

Notable walks include 180 miles from Brooklyn to Philadelphia (9 days), 115 miles across Los Angeles (7 days), 160 miles along the entire length of Long Island (9 days), and 400 miles through 10 East Coast cities (30 days). I am also the founder and former editor of Pedestrian, a magazine for people who like to walk and move (RIP).

My work is held in the collections of the New York Public Library and the Joan Flasch Artists’ Book Collection. It has also been featured in Grist, Untapped Journal, and NPR. I have guest lectured at and led walks for institutions and organizations including Princeton University, the Swiss Institute, Salomon Shoes, the Municipal Art Society of New York, Index, and Parsons School of Design.
