MIRACLES AND JOKES, CIRCLE DISK ROTATION AND 22 LOST SIGNS OF THE ZODIAC
FEBRUARY 4 – APRIL 24, 2011
Miracles and Jokes, Circle Disk Rotation and 22 Lost Signs of the Zodiac are three distinct but interrelated bodies of work that share investigations about the limits of what we can know, and the devices we use to reduce those limits. The triangulation of the permanent with the ephemeral, image with text and abstraction with the bodily serves as a vehicle for the artist to embark on an open exploration of the human condition.
In dealing with these large and obscure topics of life and art, Edgar Arceneaux’s approach is to describe rather than explain, creating a space for viewers to become active participants in a search to establish the deep connections between ancient and universal history and the contemporary moment.
Edgar Arceneaux: Miracles and Jokes, Circle Disk Rotation and 22 Lost Signs of the Zodiac is organized by The Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit and curated by Luis Croquer, Director and Chief Curator. Major support for the exhibition is provided by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, to highlight excellence, innovative exploration and promote community engagement in contemporary art.
