  • DelMonico Books (Prestel)
  • Expo: 11/11/2017 - 25/2/2018, New Orleans (various venues)
  • by Trevor Schoonmaker
Now in its fourth iteration, Prospect New Orleans draws its inspiration from the city itself, a place of graceful beauty that thrives in adverse conditions. By positioning itself in the city of New Orleans, the Prospect triennial aims to echo the city's history of cross-cultural fertilization. From Creole culture to jazz, in waves of migration and colonization, and as the American South's largest port, New Orleans is truly a cultural and historic nexus.

Description

Now in its fourth iteration, Prospect New Orleans draws its inspiration from the city itself, a place of graceful beauty that thrives in adverse conditions. By positioning itself in the city of New Orleans, the Prospect triennial aims to echo the city's history of cross-cultural fertilization. From Creole culture to jazz, in waves of migration and colonization, and as the American South's largest port, New Orleans is truly a cultural and historic nexus. Prospect.4 plumbs New Orleans's richly hybrid character to offer a diverse and exhilarating panoply of new and exciting art.


Accompanying the international triennial Prospect New Orleans, this book features work by more than 65 artists illustrating transcultural connections through contemporary art.
