In The Red (2012-16) is the title for a series of recent text-based works that foreground propositions and first person narratives about money, culture, history and journalism. These texts are over laid on found street posters, news photographs, book covers and film stills that push and pull against the visual and semantic readings of the texts. Adams adopts the American expression, In The Red, to mark the fragile link between the global financial recession of the last few years and more subjective accountings of loss. Originally overlaid on predominantly red colored backgrounds, Adams has more recently expanded his palette to a full range of hues, including the dark green used to paint over posters hung in the POST NO BILLS zones of New York. Artist: Dennis Adams

The City Changes Your Life I think what happened to me was a precognitive dream on the night before I headed for New York City was a was a precognitive dream brought on by extreme anxiety of being grand juried out of the Harvard Graduate School of Design for conceptual deviance. As I think back over the 51 years since I did this painting, I cannot actually reconstruct the moment in time when I was motivated to paint this, and with such prophetic specificity. ...I believe the subject refers to the terrorist attack by plane on the New York’s World Trade Center building: (The Twin Towers) on September 11, 2001. That day is when Muslims state that Jesus was born. That date makes more sense to me than December 25th, [a date that was adjusted to Pagan winter solstice festivals in order to draw more people into the fold of forming Christianity]. September 11th in the Middle East would have been rather warm at the 31 st North Latitude in Bethlehem [Bayt Lahm], and a pregnant couple could have stayed in a barn very comfortably. - Excerpt from The Essential Paul Laffoley See more
