Launched
in 2007, two years after Hurricane Katrina had devastated
large areas of New Orleans and the Louisiana gulf region of the United
States, Prospect New Orleans was conceived as an international biennial — by founder and former director Dan Cameron, who had curated the 8th Istanbul Biennial (2003) and
10th Taipei Biennial (2006)-- to exhibit contemporary artistic practices, while contributing to the
city's cultural and economic recovery.
Boston has the distinction of being the
state capital of Massachusetts, the
largest city in the
state, and the
10th largest metropolitan area with a very high urban concentration - so you most likely aren't riding your all - terrain vehicle around town.
