Edgar Arceneaux is fascinated by language, and by establishing unexpected connections among words, objects, places, and people. His installations may incorporate not only drawing, sculpture, and film, but also music, conceptual art, and science, juxtaposing representative elements of each and opening up newfound associations, unintended connections and interstitial spaces—in his words, “a different way to construct relationships among things.” Arceneaux was born in 1972 in Los Angeles, where he continues to live and work. He currently serves on the board of the Watts House Project, an “ongoing, collaborative artwork in the shape of a neighborhood redevelopment” across from the historic Watts Towers in Los Angeles; he has been working on the WHP since 1996. He has had solo exhibitions at the Studio Museum in Harlem, New York; Albion Gallery, London; and Galerie Kamm, Berlin. He received a BFA from Art Center College of Design, Pasadena and an MFA from California Institute of the Arts, Los Angeles, and is represented by Susanne Vielmetter Projects, Los Angeles.
