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.

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.
