Prospect.2, the second edition of the international contemporary art biennial opens this Saturday, October 22, with exhibitions on view through January 29, 2012. Prospect.2 features more than 26 local, national and international artists with diverse cultural and generational backgrounds working in a range of artistic media.

With Prospect.2, we are excited to once again welcome visitors and locals to one of the world’s most dynamic contemporary art biennials, Founding Director of U.S. Biennial and Artistic Director for Prospect New Orleans Dan Cameron said. Those selected to participate in Prospect.2 include some of the most influential and recognized artists working today, a group of rising younger artists on the cusp of international careers, and artists making significant contributions to the New Orleans arts community. In addition to being a showcase of some of today’s most vital art-making, the biennial will again draw attention, creative energy, and economic activity to the City of New Orleans, a historic artistic center, and the Gulf Region.
