Many of the works were site specific while others, wonderfully recontextualized past favorites. Among the readily apparent successes of Prospect.1, are the overwhelming responses of the local arts scene through numerous satellite exhibitions that attest to the stamina and drive of artists from the city and surrounding region.
-
Instead of confining the shows to a singular arts district or institutional setting, curator Dan Cameron strategically selected a range of venues all over the city - where visitors receive an important and more informed exposure to New Orleans from venues in the Lower Ninth Ward to the exciting emerging arts scene along the St. Claude corridor.

The venues themselves offer an interesting connection and glimpse into the heart and history of their communities as well. With the city still reeling from the epically-tragic events of Katrina, many artists chose to address this complex reality through their work in direct and indirect ways.

Okay so this is actually an art installation by artist, Nari Ward called the "Diamond Gym". There's another video on youtube that shows it and tells more about it. The bulletin boards are part of the installation and it also has an audio soundtrack that goes along with it as well!! More explanation is below!

its suppose to be an art display buts its more fun to imagine its for sum voodoo cult
first of all. you were tresspassing, second of all, it has nothing to do with voodoo..local artist making post-Katrina pieces out of various debris...wow, nice to know where your head automatically goes when you encounter something you don't understand...you'd crap your pants if you encountered a true voodoo ritual site...

@vividkameleon Nope, wasn't trespassing. Open to the public. You are right, I found out after visiting it was created by a local artist to help bring the community together. Very cool. And I didn't say anything about voodoo.
