Leah Dixon (1982, Cincinnati, USA) lives and works in New York City and often Mexico City. She is an Interdisciplinary Artist whose work creates shape from the moments when conflict begins to harmonize. Her wide-scale sculptural and social practice is motivated through spaces where architecture and bodies collide - igniting a shared geometric imagination that Dixon points to as our new origin stories. Her Constructivist / Folk methodologies encompass sculpture, painting, performance, minimalist architecture, hospitality, set design, and nightlife. Dixon also founded, designed, and built BEVERLY'S - the famed Downtown NYC Nightlife Institution and Art Space - located on the border of Chinatown and The Lower East Side. Viewers within Dixon’s time-lapsed worlds transform into columns that help uphold the psycho-spatial prism of object, landscape, and participant - reinforcing the power of creative play within our fractured terrains.
Dixon’s work has been exhibited and reviewed widely, including guadalajara90210 Gallery in Mexico City, The Goethe Institut NYC, Edel Assanti London, The Knockdown Center NYC, The Austrian Cultural Forum in Berlin, The Nicaraguan Biennial of Contemporary Art, and Trotter & Sholer Gallery New York. She teaches workshops on experimental sculpture at institutions globally. Her work has been reviewed in Artnet, The New York Times, Artforum, and more.
