Brianna Leatherbury

Brianna Leatherbury shuffles the spaces of productivity to create dissonant and abstract systems. Guided by personal encounters, they take dialogue as a starting point into statecraft, attempting to interact with and manipulate spatial infrastructures into their own sculptural forms. Their sculptures explore the historic, and at times violent, entanglements of “human” and “resource,” identifying and exaggerating their expressions within our present-day industries.

Brianna Leatherbury is currently based in Amsterdam. They received their BFA from the Cooper Union in New York in 2017. In 2018, they were awarded the Fulbright Research Grant, which brought them to Moscow, Russia for one year. Afterwards, they participated in De Ateliers in Amsterdam from 2019-22. Leatherbury recently shown at the 15th Gwangju Biennale, Gwangju, Kr; CAPC, Bordeaux, FR Brunette Coleman, London; and The Hartwig Foundation, Amsterdam.
