Landon Wilson (b. 2001) is an emerging curator and creative producer whose work engages embodied and collective memory, institutional critique, and music-making. His practice often centers the shaping of performative, public, and site-responsive experiences, drawing on theatrical forms, experimental technologies, and interdisciplinary collaboration. In both independent and institutional contexts, he develops frameworks that foreground collective authorship and critical engagement with space.

He has produced and supported new work internationally: in New York (Baryshnikov Arts, Carnegie Hall, the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, Hauser & Wirth, National Sawdust, and the Smithsonian Design Triennial), Los Angeles (MOCA Geffen, Monday Evening Concerts, L.A. Dance Project, Ojai Music Festival), and across Europe (Stadtkuratorin Hamburg, MOM art space, TOBE Gallery, and DOXA Budapest).

He has collaborated with an array of visual artists, composers, choreographers, and artist collectives, including AMOC*, Claire Chase, Chto Delat, Anthony Roth Costanzo, inti figgis-vizueta, Rhiannon Giddens, Hugh Hayden, Diki Luckerson, Yo-Yo Ma, Bobbi Jene Smith, Júlia Standovár, Davóne Tines, Sissel Tolaas, Mitsuko Uchida, and Zack Winokur.

Landon is currently a graduate student at the Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College. He recently completed his undergraduate degree at the Manhattan School of Music (B.M., Classical Piano) and postbaccalaureate studies at Columbia University (non-deg., Art History & Musicology). While studying in the Hudson Valley, he frequently works between New York City and Germany.
