P.3+: Dawn DeDeaux launches a new MotherShip

Site of MotherShip III by Dawn DeDeaux

Editor’s Note: Prospect 3 Plus offers more than 60 local art installations and events taking place alongside the international Bienennial Prospect 3. NolaVie and its cultural partner, WWNO public radio, are taking a look at some of them in a series to run during the exhibition, which continues through Jan. 25. Below, Sharon Litwin talks to New Orleans artist Dawn DeDeaux about her installations MotherShip II: Dreaming of a Future Past and MotherShip III: The Station.

Dawn DeDeaux’s installation MotherShip II: Dreaming of a Future Past and MotherShip III: The Station Installations can be seen at the Tulane University School of Public Health, 1440 Canal St.; MotherShip III: The Station will open on Nov. 18 at 1024 Elysian Fields Ave. This series on Prospect 3 Plus artworks is made possible by a generous grant from the lawyers of the Lugenbuhl firm, with offices in New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Houston, in support of art in the Gulf South.
