EDGAR ARCENEAUX/ THURSDAY 10 JANUARY/ LECTURE AND VISITS

EDGAR ARCENEAUX

New Genres/Painting/Sculpture/ID

Based on his interest in multiple reference systems, Edgar Arceneaux constructs in his drawings, installations and video and film works a complex network of associations, connotations, and altered levels of meaning to undermine any conventional and linear narration. In an experimental field of comparisons, fractions, and combinations of various perspectives, generally accepted codes are questioned and usual patterns of perception destabilized. Arceneaux exploreS the conditions of what it means to be human precisely at the interface of the lasting and the transitory, image and text, abstraction and figuration. Works from his project Borrowed Sun invoke jazz musician Sun Ra, conceptual artist Sol LeWitt, and the Earth's sun.  He also made a video installation starring David Allen Grier titled "The Alchemy of Comedy...Stupid." He is the co-founder of the Watts House Project,  renovating residential properties and providing programs and venues for community involvement in the neighborhood around the historic Watts Towers.

Edgar Arceneaux received his MFA from California Institute of the Arts in 2001.  His work has been shown at the Whitney Biennial, SFMOMA, The Studio Museum of Harlem, The Hammer, The MOCA's of LA/Detroit/Austria, The Kitchen and on and on and on.
