Lex Hilderman is an emerging interdisciplinary artist working across sculpture, photography, textile, installation, printmaking, and performance. They are currently based in Mohkinstsis Treaty 7 Territory, also known as Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Their practice investigates identity, memory, performativity, and the emotional relationships people form with objects and in space. Through the collection and recontextualization of found materials, Lex treats objects as living archives that carry traces of memory, sentimentality, and embodied history.

Through installation and spatial storytelling, Lex arranges objects and create environments to examine how identity is constructed, rehearsed, performed, and transformed. Their work often explores themes of intimacy, preservation, grief, and transition, reflecting an ongoing interest in what we inherit, what we choose to hold onto, and what it means to let go. Lex’s recent work explores the intersection of installation art and theatrical space, investigating how immersive environments can function as sites of storytelling, engagement, and emotional encounter.

Lex Hilderman is a graduate of Emily Carr University of Art and Design and the University of Calgary. They received their Bachelor of Fine Arts in Sculpture with a minor in Social Practice and Community Engagement, and a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology concentrating in Gender, Family, and Workplace Issues. Lex’s artistic practice has been showcased with the Fem Assembly, Calgary Animated Objects Society, RBC Emerging Visual Artist Program, Calgary Arts Development, and Stride Gallery. October 2025 marked their first solo exhibition presented at Stride Gallery. They have also been awarded grants from the Canada Council for the Arts, Alberta Foundation for the Arts, and Calgary Arts Development Agency.
