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.
