\"\"TARTAN TARTANA is an exhibition that congeals the long-term weaving of the origin story of the invention of the wheel. In it, Leah Dixon connects different points in space and time: the traces of her omnipresent fictional character - a prehistoric girl who conceives the device that will turn into global transportation - and the basic geometrical gesture that allowed for the beginning of this movement - the grid -; are coexisting with a seemingly technologically advanced reality that skyscrapers stand for, reflecting at once the endless potential of human ambition and its fragility.<\/p>\r\n

Leah Dixon is an artist based in NYC whose sculptural work investigates the relationship between bodies and architecture in shared social spaces. Using a self-made language of flexible and modular geometry and a personal color science, she builds highly physical\u00a0 structures, both in scale and in labor, that reference intangible and immeasurable structures - of knowledge, of power, of belief. The narratives behind her work use the logic of mythological tales, constructed to explain events, conflicts within or outside of ourselves, and the way we function inside of a universal scale. Dixon\u2019s methodologies encompass sculpture, painting, performance, minimalist architecture, set design, and nightlife.<\/p>\r\n

Leah Dixon has recently shown solo projects at Trotter and Sholer, NYC, 2026; SATURNO at Local1, Mexico City, 2024; or guadalajara90210 Gallery, Mexico City, 2022. She received a New Mexico State University Teaching Fellowship in Sculpture, Las Cruces, NM; and the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture Fellowship, Skowhegan, ME. Her 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\u2019S - a full bar, a sculpture, social architecture project, and an arts and nightlife institution in Lower Manhattan.<\/p>","event_category":321,"event_show_only_own_date":true,"_event_confirmed":true,"_event_public":true,"_event_free":true,"_event_price-min":"","_event_price-max":"","_event_web_ca":"https:\/\/www.spiritvesselespinavessa.com\/","_event_web_es":"https:\/\/www.spiritvesselespinavessa.com\/","_event_web_en":"https:\/\/www.spiritvesselespinavessa.com\/","event_contact_email":"spiritvesselespinavessa@gmail.com","event_apply_email":"","is_online_event":false,"is_art_nou_event":false,"is_bgw_event":false,"date_text":"","register_deadline":null,"altres_organitzadors":""},"abe_event_venue":"Spiritvessel","abe_event_category":"Opening","start":"2026-06-06 12:00:00","end":"2026-06-06 20:00:00","schedule":"once","schedule_meta":"","frequency":1,"all_day":0,"until":"2026-06-06 12:00:00","include":[],"exclude":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events\/57539","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/161"}],"occurrences":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events\/57539\/occurrences"}],"acf:term":[{"embeddable":true,"taxonomy":"event-category","href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event-category\/321"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/57536"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57539"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"event-venue","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event-venues?post=57539"},{"taxonomy":"event-tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/graf.cat\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event-tags?post=57539"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
