OPENS MAY 23 – Denver Art Museum
MCA Denver is proud to present a selection of artworks from the acclaimed New Orleans-based international art triennial Prospect.6: The Future is Present, The Harbinger is Home. Featuring over sixty newly commissioned artworks by nineteen artists in the mediums of sculpture, painting, drawing, video, and large-scale installations, this exhibition represents the first time in Prospect’s history that an excerpt from this multi-venue triennial has traveled outside of its originating city. Through this exhibition audiences are invited to explore the role of New Orleans and other climate-vulnerable regions of the world, as points of departure for examining our collective future as it relates to climate change, legacies of colonialism, and definitions of belonging and home. This framework situates New Orleans as a harbinger (already living in the “future” that other places will experience), and as a home (a beloved place of community, connection, and celebration).
