Art at the edge of the Anthropocene—this is Dawn DeDeaux's realm of work. In the first comprehensive museum exhibition of her art, called The Space Between Worlds at the New Orleans Museum of Art, her body of work—spanning video, performance, photography, and installation—wrestles between the worlds of the past and the future. Her art is both anticipatory and full of regret, dwelling on the coming consequences of climate change, population growth, and industrial development.
In this exhibition, her fifty-year career is put on display through recreations of installations from the 1970s to present, bringing together works salvaged from DeDeaux's art studio—which flooded during Hurricane Katrina—with pieces that will be reimagined for the present day.
In restaging some of the artist's most poignant projects, the exhibition aims to engage diverse local communities, and asks urgent questions of all of us. noma.org.
