Exhibition

The Fall
by Edgar Arceneaux

November 8 – December 20, 2025

Dreamsong is pleased to present The Fall, the gallery’s inaugural solo presentation with Los Angeles-based artist Edgar Arceneaux. The culmination of two years of maintaining a Minneapolis studio at MCAD as part of a collaborative residency organized by the Walker Art Center, The Fall features paintings from the artist’s Skinning the Mirror series that draw conceptual and material inspiration from Minnesota’s seasonal ecologies. Underpinning the Minneapolis paintings is a rigorous practice spanning over twenty years that explores race and collective memory by interrogating American historical narratives and probing their gaps, failures and omissions.
