Prospect, the New Orleans biennial conceived and founded by curator Dan Cameron, now transformed into a triennial has announced its artist list for Prospect.4 2017. The list, put together by Artistic Director Trevor Schoonmaker, (of the Nasher Museum in Durham North Carolina), includes 73 artists from North America, Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, Asia and the European powers that colonized New Orleans, and will address themes of identity, displacement and cultural hybridity. It will be called “The Lotus In Spite of the Swamp.”

This sounds a bit like every show ever, so we’ll be curious to see how Schoonmaker distinguishes his exhibition. One move has been to enlist the help of seven other curators and artists—William Cordova, Miranda Lash, Omar Lopez-Chahoud, Wangechi Mutu, Filipa Oliveira, Ebony G. Patterson, Zoe Whitley. But it seems their help is limited to catalogue essays and public programming.

Meanwhile, the artist list looks very promising and includes several artists we’re excited about, such as, Derrick Adams, Kara Walker, in collaboration with award winning Jazz pianist Jason Moran, Hong-An Truong, Xaviera Simmons, Kader Attia, Radcliffe Bailey, and Katherine Bradford.
