Leah Dixon: Capitol Babylon: The Narrative Falsehood of a Static Monument

Leah Dixon (b. Cincinnati, Ohio / Lives and works in New York City) 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, in what Dixon points to as our new origin stories. Her Constructivist / Folk methodologies encompass sculpture, painting, performance, minimalist architecture, set design, and nightlife. Viewers within Dixon’s time-lapsed worlds become strategic columns that help uphold the psycho-spatial prism of object, landscape, and participant - reinforcing the power of creative play within our fractured terrains. Leah Dixon’s work has been exhibited and reviewed widely, both nationally and internationally. She has taught workshops on experimental sculpture at institutions around the United States, Europe, and Mexico. In addition to, and in combination with her studio practice, Dixon is the founder, designer, builder, and creative director of BEVERLY’S - a full bar, a sculpture, social architecture project, and an Arts and Nightlife institution in Lower Manhattan.
