Prospect.2 was open to the public from October 22, 2011 through January 29, 2012. Curated by Founding Director Dan Cameron, the exhibition included 26 artists from nine countries, including the US, France, Italy, Sweden, Poland, Japan, Chile, and Vietnam.
In keeping with Prospect's commitment to the promotion of the visual art community in New Orleans, the second biennial featured work by several artists who live and work in the city, as well as a variety of site-specific projects inspired by the city's distinctive history and culture and conceived specifically for the city of New Orleans. Major performative works by artists such as Dawn Dedeaux and William Pope.L have become some of the legendary works in Prospect’s exhibition history.
