Friday Five with Derrick Adams
Multidisciplinary artist Derrick Adams shares 5 thought-provoking picks that might just make you want to strive to be a better person.
When New York-based Derrick Adams landed in the art scene he hit with a bang, bringing his multidisciplinary skills to performance art, video, painting, collage, sculpture, and sound. His thought-provoking work delves into popular culture and self-image, seductively drawing your eyes in to explore layered and fragmented subject matter that you’ll feel compelled to keep revisiting. The award-winning artist earned his BFA from Pratt Institute prior to receiving his MFA from Columbia University. Since then, he’s exhibited and performed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Brooklyn Museum of Art, Studio Museum in Harlem, The California African American Museum, MoMA PS1, and many more, and you’ll find his work in many permanent collections, including the Studio Museum in Harlem, Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Just recently, he joined Sugar Hill Capital Partners’ Studio Program, which is an initiative that provides much deserved studio space for free to artists in NYC, allowing them to focus on their work. If you want to catch Adams’ work in person, check out his Sanctuary exhibition of 50 works at the Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) until August 12, 2018 ? it’s definitely worth your time. Now for his Friday Five picks, which are beautiful...
