    Probing strikingly incongruent sets of data for patterns of affnity, Los Angeles-based artist Edgar Arceneaux’s conceptual program uncovers meaning in unexpected adjacencies and sees beauty in tangential leaps. The artist’s practice takes advantage not only of his intellectual restlessness but also his wide-ranging technical adroitness, a mix of multidisciplinary skills—including drawing, photography, sculpture, and filmmaking—that figure into the unorthodox installation scenarios he has developed and refined over the last decade. Arceneaux is a recipient of a United States Artist Fellowship,  a  Creative Capital Grant and the Joyce Award, amongst other honors. His work has been featured in numerous exhibitions, including solo exhibitions at   Museum für Gegenwartskunst, Basel, Switzerland; Albion Gallery, London, United Kingdom; Praz–Delavallade, Paris, France; and the Kitchen, New York, New York.
