Arts: Best Bets

Gabriel Dawe’s site-specific Cascade of Color has been wowing visitors to the LSU Museum of Art since about this time last year. Originally scheduled to come down April 7, the thread-based work’s popularity led the museum to arrange to keep it up longer, according to curator Natalie Mault. No closing date has been set for the exhibit, as of 225’s press deadline. You can get lost—or cross-eyed—in its maze of intricately woven threads for free April 7, during the first Sunday of the month event that allows free entry to the LSU Museum of Art, the Louisiana Art & Science Museum and the USS Kidd downtown. lsumoa.org

APRIL 25: Of Moving Colors finishes its 26th season with “P.S.425,” a contemporary dance collaboration with LSU’s College of Art and Design and artist-in-residence Peter Shire, who designed an interactive set piece for the performance. ofmovingcolors.org

Speaking of Peter Shire, the retrospective of his work, Practically Absurd, finishes at the LSU Museum of Art April 14. That same day, the Louisiana Art & Science Museum’s exhibit, The Edge of Vision, which looks at abstract photography by 20 international artists, and Gloriously Colorful Kodaks, showcasing Kodak’s line of Art Deco-style cameras from the ’30s and ’40s, finish their runs as well. lasm.org
