Donald Daedalus grew up in the shadow of the country’s largest public observatory, an area so remote and sparsely populated it served as the first plutonium-processing plant for the Manhattan Project. These two experiences impressed an urge for thinking of the sky as both a near and distant body that is a recent fading history and the earth a place where humans hide. His art practice is motivated by uncovering the recovered. He makes books, videos, sculptures and public artworks. Through Triangle’s support from the National Endowment for the Arts, Daedalus is in residence at Triangle from December–February 2016–17.
