Edgar Arceneaux is an L.A based artist who questions the status quo by wondering if it does get better than this, especially in regards to social movements and civil rights. He seeks to put political leaders in a vulnerable state, treating them like people and not the gods we seem to paint them as.
Some of the questions that arise from looking at his work are:
Can some works be ahead of their time, to be re-imagined for the audience of today?
Are historical figures fair game in terms of art making? Re-imagined, put into a vulnerable position, etc.
