Chinati Artist In Residence Leeza Meksin
The Chinati Foundation has hosted artist residents from a variety of disciplines since 1989. Each year, the organization chooses six people to work in Marfa for two months.
Chinati's current guest is Leeza Meksin — a New York-based interdisciplinary artist who works in painting, installation, and public art. Meksin was born in the former Soviet Union but emigrated to the United States with her family in 1989.
Meksin received an MFA from The Yale School of Art and a BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She currently teaches at Columbia University’s School of the Arts.
Meksin will have an Open Studio at The Locker Plant in Marfa on Friday, October 11 from 5 to 8 pm as part of Chinati Weekend.
