This weekend will see the close of Prospect 2. One among the several closing festivities will be ‘Occupy The Pearl’ at 639 Desire St. in the Bywater on Sunday evening starting at 5 pm and going until questionably late hours.
For those who haven’t seen this show, its highly recommended to make it to the last call.

Nice to see the New Orleans arts community growing, and interestingly along the crescent on this map we update for Catalogue— a bi-monthly printed living listing of galleries and institutions that host rotating visual art shows. It is distributed freely in art spaces as well as shops, events and other places of local interest.

Prolific Chilean-born and NY-based artist Iván Navarro creates complex and visually stunning sculptures out of fluorescent light. Using the actual lighting fixtures as a basic building material, he creates radiant objects, which are at once functional, everyday objects.
Iván’s piece, The Fence is currently on display at the UNO St. Claude Gallery as part of Prospect.2 New Orleans, until January 29th. Nighttime will yield better results.
