Lecture / Artist Talk: Derrick Adams
Derrick Adams will present on his body of work as a multidisciplinary artist, followed by a Q&A with Arden Sherman, Glenn W. and Cornelia T. Bailey Senior Curator of Contemporary Art. Based in New York City, with roots in Baltimore, Maryland, Adams expands on his artistic practice, career, and notions of expressing cultural iconography and the expansiveness of Black identity through figurative painting.
Adams' work celebrates and expands the dialogue around contemporary Black life and culture through scenes of normalcy and perseverance. He received his BFA from Pratt Institute, New York, in 1996 and graduated with an MFA from Columbia University, New York, in 2003. In addition to his critically acclaimed art practice, Adams has held numerous teaching positions and is currently a tenured assistant professor in the School of Visual, Media and Performing Arts at CUNY Brooklyn College. He also holds an honorary doctorate from Maryland Institute College of Art.
