Adam McEwen\u2019s work is concerned with revitalizing our senses by drawing attention to the pervasive dullness of our usual visual experience. He works in a peripatetic variety of media, but the sense of d\u00e9ja vu is his consistent throughout. The more familiar the object the better it serves as a handy trope for re-awakening perception. The work combines a Pop sensibility with a wry sense of humor. His series of obituaries celebrating the lives of (still living) individuals like Kate Moss and Richard Prince brought him wide recognition and scrutiny at the 2006 Whitney Biennial. These darkly humorous works play off of celebrity culture and call attention to the usually overlooked codes that are embedded within conventional mass media, while invoking tragic mortality and its attendant glamour in a context disassociated from actual reality.
