Lex Brown was born in Oakland, CA in 1989 and has died many times since. Her work in text, video, installation, pop music, and performance uses both gentle and emphatic acts, as well as humor, pain, participation and sincerity to connect with an audience. Her work positions Today within the context of written history and an imaginative future, treading the territory between being a person and being a specific person: between subjectivity, politics, education, economy and resistance.

Last fall, Badlands Unlimited published Brown’s first work in fiction, My Wet Hot Drone Summer, a sci-fi erotic novella that takes on sex, surveillance, and social justice in the age of climate change. 

In the summer of 2013 she was the lead teacher and workshop coordinator at the Gramsci Monument. She is a member of the 2012 class of the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture and received her BA from Princeton University in 2012. 

Her works have been exhibited at the New Museum in New York, and at REDCAT Theater and the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles. She is currently pursuing an MFA degree in Sculpture at Yale University. Last fall she presented an installation and performance at the International Center of Photography in New York.
