Kjellgren Alkire was born, baptized and raised in suburbs of Phoenix, Arizona. He completed his MFA at Arizona State University in 2007. He was an eyelounge member from 2007–2009. Currently, he teaches design at Northwestern College in Saint Paul, MN.
Kjellgren Alkire’s graphic works and interactive installations focus on the meaning and function of subcultural production. Having been trained as both a printmaker and preacher, he bends these two disciplines into a singular fine art practice, designing spaces and experiences referential of carnival games and religious gatherings.
