Arthur Roger Gallery is pleased to present “Unseen,” an exhibition of new works by New Orleans artist Dawn DeDeaux. The exhibition will be on view March 12th – April 16th, 2011 at the Arthur Roger Gallery, located at 432 Julia Street. The gallery will host an opening reception to meet the artist on Saturday, March 12th, from 6 to 8 pm.
In Dawn DeDeaux’s “Unseen,” the works range from sculpture to photographs and expand the considerations of reality and time – in ways transparent, unpredictable, morphed and ephemeral. The exhibition addresses both political and environmental issues through a variety of different mediums.
Among the works featured in the exhibition are Glass Ladders and Burnt Ladders, created in two different media that reference the fragility of governments or systems of knowledge which can spontaneously fall from the ruptures of nature or man, as seen in the situations surrounding Hurricane Katrina and the revolt in Egypt. In Mutants, she has created illuminated mono-cellular sculptures, which float and give evidence of the invisible threat of species contamination. Also featured in the exhibition are Chain Reactions, welded chain sculptures that bare the interconnectedness of the competing systems of industry and government. Several developmental works in the exhibition are part of DeDeaux’s proposed project for Prospect.2.
Dawn DeDeaux was born and continues to reside in New Orleans. She has been represented by Arthur Roger Gallery for nearly two decades. Her works have been exhibited nationwide including at the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art. Currently her sculptural series Steps Home is being installed in the open landscape surrounding Marfa, Texas on indefinite loan and appear in conjunction with an exhibition at Marfa Ballroom, The World According to New Orleans.
