PIONEER WORKS PRESENTS DERRICK ADAMS: ON

A Solo Exhibition of New Work and Performance

June 10 – July 15

 

Opening Reception + Performance:

Friday, June 10 at 7:00 p.m.

Performance at 7:30 p.m. sharp

What

ON is a solo exhibition of new work and performance by Derrick Adams. Through nine large-scale, boldly colored mixed media collages that function as both illuminated sculptural objects and backdrops for live performance, ON continues Adams’ investigation of consumerism and the dramatization of black figures in entertainment and popular culture. 

On the opening night, Derrick Adams will act as conductor, live mixing sound from mic’d performers within the nine settings into an orchestrated production that references television programs from the late 1980s and early 1990s as well as late-night infomercials. The performance will be recorded, then projected onto a gallery wall for the duration of the show.
