Dixon is involved in developing an art practice which explore notions of curation. She believes that by adopting curatorial methods and producing structures for showing the work of others, she is able to filter her position and how she is viewed, and establish one that is reviewed as a secondary mechanism to these pieces. Her recent work makes reference to the system of Salon hanging, where the maximum possible amount of works are exhibited on a gallery wall, she takes this method to extreme conclusions by calculating the smallest surface area possible to display the work which she curates. By using a mathematical system, works can be defined by dimension, and appear in accordance to this, and to the space in which they will be shown. This often requires her to cut up and dissect works in order to incorporate them within the system. The employment of a curatorial method based upon practicality removes subjectivity, and holds the role of the maker suspended between artist and curator. She will be making a new piece for ex formed from works which have been donated by the other artists in the exhibition. The work will, in effect, be a collaboration between Dixon and the other participants in ex 2009.
