Represented by Vielmetter Los Angeles

Edgar Arceneaux explores connections between historical events and present-day truths in drawing, sculpture, installation, performance, and multi-media events. In the artist’s work, linear logic is abandoned in favor of wordplay and visual associations, revealing how language, technology, and systems of ordering produce reality as much as describe them. Seemingly disparate elements—such as science fiction, civil rights era speeches, techno music, and the crumbling architecture of Detroit—find a new synchronicity in the artist’s hands, ultimately pointing to larger historical forces such as the rise of the surveillance state.

Recently, Arceneaux has been expanding these concerns into a new body of work focusing on mirrors. Glass shards and mirrors have figured in his work before, but now they literally compose the piece. Through a strenuous process of chemically stripping the mirrors from their backing and transferring them to canvas, Arceneaux creates new complex gestural images that are reflective, yet fragmented, broken and layered, with distressed colors of silver, black, green, and rust.

**Edgar Arceneaux** was born in 1972 in Los Angeles, and lives and works in Pasadena, California. He is a graduate of Art Center College of Design (BFA, 1996) and the California Institute for the Arts (MFA, 2001). He is an Associate Professor of Art for Roski School of Art and Design at USC. He played a seminal role in the creation of the Watts House Project, a redevelopment initiative to remodel a series of houses around the Watts Towers, serving as director from 1999 to 2012. His work has been featured in the Whitney Biennial (2008), Whitney Museum of American Art, NY; the Studio Museum in Harlem, NY; Performa 15, NY and the MIT List Visual Arts Center, Cambridge, MA, among other venues.
