FROM KOLAJ #30<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Louisiana Contemporary 2020<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA
5 September 2020-7 February 2021<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For the 2020 edition of “Louisiana Contemporary”, guest juror Ren\u00e9 Morales, Director of Curatorial Affairs and Chief Curator at P\u00e9rez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), selected fifty-five works by fifty-six artists from a total of 1,388 works by 363 artists.

For the 2020 edition, Morales was attuned to artists and artworks that are actively engaging with this particular moment in American history, through different media and stylistic and technical approaches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2020 winner of the prize for Best in Show is assemblage artist Wendo Brunoir, won for their works Appropriation of a Masterpiece<\/em> and Don\u2019t Catch You Slippin\u2019 Up<\/em> (image above). This follows David Knox’s 2018 Best in Show prize for his photomontage, The Fall of Leviticus<\/em> (see our report in Kolaj<\/em> #24<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Kolaj<\/em> #30<\/a>, Ric Kasini Kadour reviewed collage in “Louisiana Contemporary 2020” and wrote about how frequently collage is featured in each year’s “Louisiana Contemporary”. He wrote:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
