Landon Wilson (b. 2001) is an emerging curator and creative producer, described as a “polymath” (West Side Rag) whose discipline-colliding work “moved me to my core” (Poison Put to Sound). His practice engages themes of bodily and collective memory, institutional critique, and music making, unfolding at the intersection of public and performative space through theatrical forms, site-responsive activations, and collaborative processes.

He has produced and supported projects at Baryshnikov Arts, Carnegie Hall, the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, the Clark Art Institute, MOCA (Los Angeles), Hauser & Wirth, L.A. Dance Project, National Sawdust, and the Smithsonian Design Triennial, among others. In 2023, he was named the Rothenberg Production Fellow at the Ojai Music Festival, where he is now Assistant Artistic Producer.

Landon has collaborated with an array of composers, choreographers, musicians, and visual artists, including AMOC*, Anthony Roth Costanzo, inti figgis-vizueta, Rhiannon Giddens, Gerard & Kelly, Hugh Hayden, Yo-Yo Ma, Bobbi Jene Smith, Davóne Tines, Sissel Tolaas, Mitsuko Uchida, and Zack Winokur.

He recently completed his undergraduate degree at the Manhattan School of Music (B.M., Classical Piano) and postbaccalaureate studies at Columbia University (Art History, Musicology & Professional Practice). Landon is an incoming graduate student at the Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College, and is based in New York City.
