Simone Leigh
Simone Leigh’s practice incorporates sculpture, video, and installation; all are informed by her ongoing exploration of Black female-identified subjectivity. Recent projects and exhibitions include participation in the Whitney Biennial (2019), The Waiting Room (2016) at the New Museum of Contemporary Art, The Free People’s Medical Clinic (2014), a project commissioned by Creative Time (New York); and a solo exhibition at the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (2017). Leigh is the first artist to be commissioned for the High Line Plinth (New York), where her monumental sculpture Brick House was unveiled in April 2019. Loophole of Retreat, a major solo exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum, commemorated Leigh's achievements as the winner of the Hugo Boss Prize in 2018. Portrait of Simone Leigh (above): Kyle Knodell
