Leslie Dick (born 1954) is an American artist, writer, editor, and educator, based in Los Angeles.
Without Falling has been described by Kathy Acker as "a real woman's romantic novel... written for the sake of truth"[6] and by Angela McRobbie as "an important book" that occupies a space "along the line between romance and sexuality".
[7] Kicking, her second novel, follows a self-referential love triangle set in the 1980s art world in London and New York.
[14][15] In 1999 Dick and Los Angeles–based artist Martin Kersels were jointly selected "to run the arts program at" CalArts.
[19] Dick discusses her teaching philosophy in the context of a chapter on Michael Asher's "Post-Studio" critique class.
