Leslie Shows

State: California
Country: United States
Year at Headlands: 2006
Discipline: visual
Program: tournesol

Leslie Shows' (Tournesol '06 - '07) pigment, graphite and cutout collages investigate alternative ways to view people's relationships to land. Rather than orienting ourselves on a horizon line or in a linear time-scale, Shows suggests we look to the mechanics of geology as it relates to political, social and personal systems. Shows received a BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute, San Francisco, before later pursuing her MFA at the California College of the Arts, San Francisco. Shows has recently exhibited at the Orange County Museum of Art, Newport Beach, CA; Armory Show, NY; Frieze Art Fair, London, England; and Art Basel Miami Beach, Art Nova, Miami, FL. Solo Exhibitions include Jack Hanley Gallery, Los Angeles and San Francisco, CA. A 2006 recipient of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art SECA Award, her work was featured at SFMOMA in early 2007.
