Edgar Arceneaux (b. 1972, Los Angeles, CA) is a contemporary artist who lives and works in Los Angeles, CA. He is the co-founder of the Watts House Project, a non-profit neighborhood redevelopment organization in Watts. ==Career== Arceneaux received his BFA from Art Center College of Design in 1996 and his MFA from California Institute of the Arts in 2001 after attending the Skowhegan School of Painting in 1999 and the Fachhochschule Aachen, Germany from 2000-2001. He was the Director of the Watts House Project from 1999-2012, and officially re-launched the organization in 2007 with Sue Bell Yank through the support of the Hammer Museum’s Artist Residency program, as well as a team of Watts residents, artists, community organizers, and scholars. The Watts House Project focuses on renovating residential properties and providing programs and venues for community involvement in the neighborhood around the historic Watts Towers. The organization undertook its first remodeling projects in 2008 and was granted nonprofit status in 2009. In November 2003, the UCLA Hammer Museum exhibited Arceneaux's ''Drawings of Removal'', an installation that combined layered wall drawings, sculptural ephemera, and a makeshift studio in "an ongoing exploration of memory through the medium of drawing". He was named a United States Artists Fellow in 2007, and was included the 2008 Whitney Biennial. Arceneaux's work has been exhibited at galleries and museums both nationally and internationally, including the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, the Orange County Museum of Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Studio Museum in Harlem, The Kitchen, NY, the Kunstmuseum Basel, Switzerland, the Lentos Art Museum, Austria, and the Museum Ludwig in Germany. He is represented by Susanne Vielmetter Los Angeles Projects in Los Angeles and Praz-Delavallade in Paris. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Edgar Arceneaux」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
