It’s the fourth citywide Prospect New Orleans show, and includes photographs, sculptures, prints, videos and other work by 73 artists from around the world. Armstrong’s collages have never been shown in New Orleans before the current display in the New Orleans Jazz Museum at the Old U.S. Mint, said Trevor Schoonmaker, artistic director for Prospect.4. Satellites .”The mural is among 17 that Banksy painted on vacant New Orleans buildings in 2008. Those were documented in a blog which Grenier, the third restorer to work on the piece, said significantly helped her work. Cummings plans to install the mural in the lobby of his International Hotel in December and keep it there for New Orleans’ tricentennial in 2018.
