Adam McEwen has been selected as the guest artist for the Glass House’s seventieth-anniversary Summer Party, which benefits the iconic Philip Johnson–designed house and site. McEwen’s artwork Chocked Rim (2019) is on display in the Glass House, and the artist has created a limited-edition sculpture for the occasion. The work, entitled Hubcap, is a machined graphite version of the hubcap of a late-1950s Mercedes “Gullwing” coupe, a car Johnson drove. To attend the event, purchase tickets at theglasshouse.org.

Adam McEwen will sign copies of his new book, Sidewalks, at Printed Matter’s NY Art Book Fair in New York. Designed in close collaboration with the artist, the limited-run publication presents fifty-one inkjet-on-sponge paintings alongside the ambient poetry of Tan Lin, written in response to the works. Photographs of city sidewalks—some pristine, others strewed with cracks, manholes, and once-chewed gum—are printed on vividly colored cellulose sponge and oriented vertically, giving a sense of perspective and landscape but also of disorientation and abstraction. Published by Zolo Press, the book will be available for purchase at the event.
