Alex Wolfe

Wolfe reflects on a decade of walking across the tri-state area, treating movement as both a creative method and a way of making sense of the built environment. Drawn to landscapes often overlooked or dismissed—New Jersey, Midtown Manhattan, Long Island, and transit deserts along the proposed Interborough Express—he shows how sustained attention through walking reshapes perception, memory, and one’s relationship to place.

Alex Wolfe is a writer and artist from Iowa, based in New York City. His work explores relationships between movement, memory, and the built environment through walking, writing, photography, and public programs. His long-distance walking projects include routes from Brooklyn to Philadelphia, a seven-day walk across Los Angeles, the length of Long Island, and a 30-day walk across ten East Coast cities. His work has appeared in The New York Times, BOMB, Grist, and Untapped Journal, and has been featured on NPR. He has led walks with institutions including Princeton University, the Swiss Institute, Salomon, the Municipal Art Society of New York, and Parsons School of Design. He is currently at work on his debut novel, Repeater.
