Miles Cleveland Goodwin in Southern Contemporary at Ogden Museum of Southern Art

Miles Cleveland Goodwin’s ‘Lucifer’, recently acquired by the Ogden Museum of Southern Art in New Orleans, features in their exhibition ‘Southern Contemporary : Selections from the Permanent Collection’ from 4 March until October 13 2024.

The Contemporary South is an exhibition that brings together thirteen works of art created in the past twenty years by artists working in the American South, encouraging a dynamic conversation between the excitement of recent acquisitions and the familiarity of permanent collection highlights. Emerging artistic expressions across a variety of mediums and techniques are included alongside artworks by mid-career and established artists.

This selection of works from the permanent collection of Ogden Museum of Southern Art (some on view for the first time) considers the many ways artists throughout the region explore process, place and identity through their creative practices. Contemporary experiences of place and identity in the American South are myriad, situational and decidedly in flux. Whether examining the past, critiquing the present or looking to the future – these 21st century artists bring unique approaches and contemporary goals to the dialogue around Southern art and culture.

The Ogden Museum of Southern Art is located at 925 Camp St, New Orleans, LA 70130. For further information on the exhibition click here
