Artist Derrick Adams Art from the Outside

    • Arts

This episode we are so excited to be joined by a brilliant artist who we both greatly admire: Derrick Adams.

Born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1970; Derrick's work spans painting, collage, sculpture, performance, video, and sound installations. His multidisciplinary practice engages the ways in which individuals’ ideals, aspirations, and personae become attached to specific objects, colors, textures, symbols, and ideologies. 

This April, Adams was awarded a $1.25 M. grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to develop an archive devoted to Black culture in Baltimore. He will also soon be opening a residency for Black creatives in Baltimore called The Last Resort Artist Retreat (TLRAR). You can read more at tlrar.org.

Derrick earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts at Pratt Institute and a Master of Fine Arts at Columbia University. His work resides in the permanent collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Studio Museum in Harlem, and the Whitney Museum of American Art - just to name a few. In addition, Derrick is a recipient of a Gordon Parks Foundation Fellowship, a Studio Museum Joyce Alexander Wein Artist Prize, and a Louis Comfort Tiffany Award - among others.
