ABOUT RENSHAW DAVIES

Renshaw Davies is an indie dream-pop folk duo based in New Orleans, comprised of John Renshaw and Emily Davies. They draw from a wide range of influences including Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, Beach House, and Beck. The duo’s new EP, “The Heat,” features synth, drumbeats, strings, and pedal steel—a departure from their acoustic, more folk-driven single. All tracks were produced and recorded by Carson Thielen at New Orleans’ own, Bear America Records.

ABOUT New at NOMA: Recent Acquisitions in Modern and Contemporary Art

Join Curatorial Fellow Brian Piper for a tour of New at NOMA. This exhibition showcases NOMA’s recent acquisitions of modern and contemporary art and celebrates the museum’s enduring commitment to championing the work of emerging and underrepresented artists, especially from the American South.

ABOUT F FOR FAKE

The Arts in Peril Film Series examines fundamental questions about the production of art and who decides what art is and can be in modern societies. Orson Welles appears as himself in F for Fake, a witty and subversive film essay on fakery and forgery, art, and illusion. Taking footage from an earlier François Reichenbach documentary on art forgery—based on the book by the literary hoaxer Clifford Irving—Welles worked his own clips into it, reediting the original footage extensively.
