Edgar Arceneaux is an LA-based contemporary artist and ArtCenter alumni who strives to find awe and mystery in life. His body of work has been seen exhibited and performed internationally, and it celebrates the asking of penetrating historical and cultural questions, leading to thought-provoking, perspective-altering experiences.
Edgar’s most recent piece Until Until Until is a live performance centered around a reenactment of Ben Vereen’s tragically misunderstood blackface performance at Ronald Reagan’s 1981 inaugural gala. The history of this performance is fascinating, and Edgar’s piece probes into the events before and after.
In this conversation, Edgar talks about his work, his knack for critical thinking, his upbringing, and how these all influence his development as an artist with striking wisdom and courage to experiment.
