Art junkies everywhere are chasing the dragon to Prospect.1 New Orleans — and with good reason. Billed as the nation’s largest biennial of international art to date, the eleven-week extravaganza of contemporary art installations unites a head-spinning roster of international artists in a myriad of traditional and found spaces from the French Quarter to the Warehouse District. Been meaning to head to the Big Easy? There’s no time like this winter, when you can contribute to director Dan Cameron’s passionate, worthy goal of reinvigorating the post-Katrina landscape with an influx of aesthetics-appreciating visitors. Festivities run through January 18.
