SUMMARY:Twofold Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Barnes Ogden Art & Design Complex Gallery\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. \nVisiting artist Lyndon Barrois Jr. will deliver a lecture Monday\, February 23\, 2026\, in Barnes Ogden Room 1200 at 5 p.m. to be followed by a reception in the Gallery until 7:30 p.m.\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. \nAddoley Dzegede is a Ghanaian-American artist who grew up in South Florida and is based in Pittsburgh\, Pennsylvania. She was a 2022-2023 Fulbright awardee in Craft to the Netherlands\, based in Rotterdam for the duration of the award as the Artist-Researcher-in-Residence at Piet Zwart Institute. \nDzegede’s work investigates notions of belonging\, migration and location\, and hybrid identities. Through a variety of media and techniques\, she explores the metaphoric potential of materials\, textile traditions\, notions of “authenticity” and the ways color and pattern are used to as a means to assign belonging \nShe received a BFA from Maryland Institute College of Art\, and fellowships include the Chancellor’s Graduate Fellowship at Washington University in St Louis\, where she completed an MFA degree in Visual Art\, and the Tulsa Artist Fellowship. \nLAB-D is the collaborative art practice of Lyndon Barrois Jr. and Addoley Dzegede. Exhibitions and projects together include The Truth is Rude\, at The Millitzer Gallery (St. Louis\, 2015)\, Wayfarer\, at Monaco (St. Louis\, 2018)\, Mercantile\, at Sharp Projects (Copenhagen\, 2022)\, and To Die For\, at Specialist (Seattle\, 2022). Together they authored “Elleboog\,” a book of essays published by the Jan Van Eyck Academie (Maastricht\, Netherlands\, 2019). \nAs LAB-D\, they have been artists-in-residence at The University of Kansas\, Arteles Creative Center (Finland)\, Nes (Iceland)\, and Loghaven Artist Residency (Knoxville). They were founding members of Monaco\, an artist-run gallery in St. Louis. Barrois Jr. and Dzegede were both winners of the Great Rivers Biennial at Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis (2016 and 2018)\, and grantees of Advancing Black Arts from the Pittsburgh Foundation in 2022. \nLecture: Lyndon Barrois Jr. \nMonday\, February 23\, 2026\, 5 p.m. \nBarnes Ogden Art & Design Complex\, Room 1200 \nReception: Twofold \nMonday\, February 23\, 2026\, 6–7:30 p.m. \nBarnes Ogden Art & Design Complex Gallery\, Room 1010 \nBarnes Ogden Art & Design Complex Gallery \n31 South Campus Drive \nBaton Rouge\, LA 70803 \nMonday–Friday\, 9:00–4:30 p.m. \nSaturday\, 12–4\, except between exhibitions. \nClosed Sundays
