SUMMARY:Lyndon Barrois Jr. Artist Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Barnes Ogden Art & Design Complex\, Room 1200\nLyndon Barrois Jr. (b. New Orleans\, LA) is an artist based in Pittsburgh\, PA and an Assistant Professor of Art at Carnegie Mellon University. He is half of LAB-D\, with artist Addoley Dzegede\, with whom he has collaboratively staged four exhibitions\, and co-authored a book of essays (Elleboog\, at the Jan van Eyck Academie in 2019). \nBarrois Jr. uses cinema as a means to travel both temporally and geographically\, bringing to mind ideas of anachronism\, simultaneity\, and reanimation. Looking at branding strategies of old cinema—along with the phased-out profession of shooting film stills—he considers these methods ways to represent a film that has yet to be seen. He is currently undergoing a project that uses the heist film and museum context to contend with legacies of colonial extraction. Another ongoing body of work investigates how fashion images function as constructed figments of the imagination onto which we project our desires and lived realities. In various ways\, Barrois navigates questions around color\, control\, taste\, waste\, and the layering of information. \nBarrois Jr. received his MFA from Washington University in St. Louis (2013)\, and his BFA in painting from the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore (2006). He has completed residencies at LATITUDE Chicago\, Loghaven\, the Van Eyck Academie in Maastricht (Netherlands)\, Fogo Island Arts in Newfoundland\, and the Irish Museum of Modern Art in Dublin\, Ireland. \n  \nLSU School of Art will present the exhibition Twofold by Addoley Dzegede and visiting artist Lyndon Barrois Jr. A joint exhibition as their collaborative entity LAB-D\, Twofold explores the artists’ individual responses to the same subjects\, continuing their respective interests in material value\, color\, and cultural signification. Through a mixture of textiles\, print\, painting\, and collage\, the artists have generated work that represents their mutual tendencies to mine collections\, archives\, and systems of display. Drawing from images captured during numerous museum visits\, each artist selected visual prompts for the other to respond to\, introducing an element of unpredictability. Working on an agreed-upon scale for each prompt\, the resulting works are an asymmetrical representation of the source material. Both artists employ mimicry and reproduction to generate new perspectives on existing artifacts.
