Edgar Arceneaux is fascinated by language, and by establishing unexpected connections among words, objects, places, and people. His installations may incorporate not only drawing, sculpture, and film, but also music, conceptual art, and science, juxtaposing representative elements of each and opening up newfound associations, unintended connections, interstitial spaces—in his words, "a different way to construct relationships among things."
Arceneaux was born in 1972 in Los Angeles, where he continues to live and work. He currently serves as executive director of the Watts House Project, an "ongoing, collaborative artwork in the shape of a neighborhood redevelopment" across from the historic Watts Towers in Los Angeles; he has been working on the WHP since 1996. He has had recent solo exhibitions at Susanne Vielmetter Projects in Los Angeles and Berlin; the Studio Museum in Harlem, New York; Albion Gallery, London; and Galerie Kamm, Berlin. He received a BFA from Art Center College of Design and an MFA from California Institute of the Arts.
Cosponsored by Graduate Program in Fine Arts and the President's Diversity Steering Group.

Lecture by Ron Nagle
Presented as part of CCA's Design and Craft Lecture Series

Ron Nagle is perhaps the only man alive who has made ceramics with Peter Voulkos and music with Scott Mathews, both titans of their respective genres. In the 1960s he was a member of the Cool School of LA and worked around the Abstract Expressionists, including Voulkos. His ceramic practice focuses almost exclusively on variations of cups, often pushing the form to near-abstraction. He is a professor of studio art at Mills College and has also taught at CCA, San Francisco State University, the San Francisco Art Institute, and UC Berkeley.
Nagle has also maintained a vibrant music career. In 1975 he teamed up with the songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Scott Mathews to write songs for Barbra Streisand, Michelle Phillips, and many other major recording artists. He and Mathews also briefly had a band project called the Durocs, named after a breed of pig with extremely big ears and testicles. The Durocs were signed to Capitol Records until (Wikipedia reports) they busted into an executive meeting one day, accompanied by dwarfs blasting fanfare trumpets and squealing pigs running loose. They had no subsequent releases.
Nagle lives and works in San Francisco. His lecture will be titled "The Latest and the Greatest."
The Design and Craft Lecture Series is funded by the Wornick Endowment Fund.
