VISUAL ARTS + MUSEUMS

Spacetaker presents Waiting: Steps, No Movement, a new multi-media installation by conceptual artist Kerry Adams as part of its ARC Exhibition Series. Suspending dozens of windows throughout the gallery, Adams explores the concept of time and those moments in our day-to-day lives, which pass without our awareness. Adams is a recent transplant to Houston from the northeast and this is the first chance to see her work in Texas. The exhibition is on view from June 3 through June 25 with a free public opening reception on Friday, June 3 from 6 – 8 p.m.

Waiting: Steps, No Movement invites viewers into an environment of windows and rocking chairs that seem to suspend time, creating a space for recollecting and redefining the nature of those lost, indistinguishable moments. The work serves to create a space for dialogue between each viewer and his/her own life. “Trying to recall moments that have not been recorded in our memories results in questions, silence, traces or a vague idea of what has passed. In my work I aim to make this time and these traces visible,” says Adams about this new installation piece created just for the ARC Gallery.

Kerry Adams was born and raised in Central New Jersey. She began making large-scale multi-media concept-based installations while still in high school. In 2004, she received her BFA in sculpture from Rhode Island School of Design and in 2009 she received her MFA from Maryland Institute College of Art. Kerry has exhibited her work in solo and group shows and as a grant recipient. For more information about Adams and her works visit www.kerryadamsart.com.
