On the occasion of Gloria’s one-year anniversary, we are proud to present a solo show of new work by Leah Dixon curated by Azikiwe Mohammed, opening Friday, September 20th. Dixon's immersive installation 'The Invention of The Wheel'—comprised of sculpture, painting, architecture, text, and video—constructs the atmosphere surrounding an original fictional narrative about the true inventor of the wheel and how this young woman's ancient innovation continues to cycle through our contemporary age of acceleration and interconnectivity.

Guests will enter the gallery in small groups on a fifteen-minute rotation so that each viewer may experience the story in full; please arrive early to guarantee entry. Join us for an after party at our favorite neighborhood bar The Footlight, conveniently located across the street from the gallery. Guests to Gloria's will receive a stamp for happy hour prices all night, beginning at 6pm.
