Korean sculptor Do Ho Suh recently installed a 23-foot tower of piggy-backed men, each covering the eyes of the man below at the New Orleans Museum of Art. Entitled Karma, the sculpture is made from 98 cast stainless steel figures and appears to stretch infinitely into the sky.

We wrote earlier this year about Swoon's various projects in New Orleans, and Swoon and various collaborators debut the The Music Box on October 22nd to coincide with Prospect 2, New Orleans’ art biennale. The Music Box is an interactive installation of purpose-built shacks and miniature houses made out of New Orleans’ beautiful architectural details and plentiful salvaged materials; built into in each structure is an invented instrument created by a sound artist.

Back in 2005, Richard Misrach did a series of photographs in New Orleans and along the Gulf Coast documenting decrepit homes and properties with spray painted messages along car doors and walls. Some of these photos are currently on display at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

We have worked with Brooklyn-based Swoon before on our 10th year anniversary project in Detroit, and we are happy to hear from her now as she embarks on a new project in New Orleans. Swoon has re-imagined ?a permanent, interactive sculpture for the Bywater neighborhood of New Orleans. It will look like a house, but it will function like a musical instrument.

Brooklyn-based artist, Swoon, continues a fantastic run of site-specific installations, with her newest showing up in the atrium of the New Orleans Museum of Art. After a showstopping installation at MOCA's "Art In the Streets," she continues with Thalassa, named for and inspired by the Greek goddess of the sea.

We recently wrote on the site about the public art project, "Before I Die," that installation artist, designer, and urban planner Candy Chang created in New Orleans. Now, our Helen Soteriou speaks with Chang about her public projects, and what is next.
