Book Signing
Adam McEwen
Sidewalks
Wednesday, October 12, 2022, 5–7pm
Gagosian Shop, New York
Adam McEwen will sign copies of his new book, Sidewalks, at the Gagosian Shop 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.
