Multi-disciplinary artist Leah Dixon builds work that marks the cultural phenomena that take shape in spaces where conflict begins to harmonize. Her wide-scale sculptural and social practice is motivated through spaces where architecture and bodies collide – in what Dixon points to as our new origin stories. Taking various forms through sculpture, painting, performance, minimalist architecture, set design, and nightlife, Dixon deconstructs and contorts anthropological narratives into new structures and characters. Viewers within her time-lapsed worlds become strategic columns that help uphold the psycho-spatial prism of object, landscape, and participant – reinforcing the power of personal creative power within a fractured landscape. Past exhibitions include solo projects at Guadalajara90210 Mexico City, Local 1 Mexico City, MINI/Goethe Institute New York, and The Knockdown Center in New York. Group exhibitions include The Austrian Cultural Forum in Berlin, Greene Naftali New York, James Cohan New York, The Torrance Art Museum, Edel Assanti Gallery London, The Nicaraguan Biennial of Contemporary Art, and many independent public installations. Dixon received her BFA from The Ohio State University, her MFA from The School of Visual Art, and attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. She is the creative director, curator, designer, and co-founder of BEVERLY’S New York – an artist-run Arts and Nightlife Institution, headquartered in a full bar and exhibition space in Lower Manhattan.
