. Grant has collaborated with Reeves on projects including the books “Ode to Happiness” in 2011 and “Shadows” in 2015.
Last week, before a predinner discussion, Paltrow said of Grant, “We wanted to invite you here because your work is inherently amazingly feminist, and you also seem to be a woman who embraces exactly who you are and where you are in time and space. You’re very inspiring.”A look at artists Alexandra Grant and Steve Roden’s exhibition, “These Carnations Defy Language,” at the now-defunct Pasadena Museum of California Art in 2015.

Honestly, it’s being around another woman. For me, anything that is inherently competitive, especially with another woman, it can’t be beauty.

I don’t know. I think first it has to be a conversation. One of the things I do as an artist is I serve on boards of directors. I’m on a board right now where there’s 32 people.
