Dennis Adams: An Interview

Dennis Adams began as a painter, but by 18 he had become decidedly interested in relief space and then architectural space. By the time he was 20, Adams had become fascinated with family photographs and films. Adams was interested in the societal implications of images in general. A conceptual artist whose work includes photography, text, and installation, he is best known for his projects involving structures placed in urban bus shelters, uncompromisingly inserted into the public sphere. These politically charged photographs and their accompanying texts are not used to make overtly ideological statements, but are open-ended in ways that challenge viewers to test their own convictions.
