Leopoldo Goût

Leopoldo Goût is an artist, writer, and filmmaker who works across mediums to capture the ephemeral: an abstract and figurative clash with memory and humanity, with chaos. Born in Mexico City, he embarked on numerous artistic pursuits: painting, drawing, sculpture, filmmaking, digital art, soundscapes, performance, and more. His work has appeared in galleries and museums throughout the world, including the West Collection of Pennsylvania, the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo in Mexico City, Galeria Museo of Bogota, Colombia, the Dikeou Collection, the Pritzker Collection, Tricia Collins Contemporary Art, Sandra Gering, Jack Tilton, and PS1.

Woolbright is the founder and director of the gallery Below Grand located on the Lower East Side in New York. In addition to curating, he is an Editor-at-Large at the Brooklyn Rail. In 2021, Woolbright curated the show Density Betrays Us with Angela Dufresne and Cash Ragona at the Hole; and curated shows at Provincetown Fine Arts Work Center and Hesse Flatow in the summer of 2022.
