{"title":"Adam McEwen","description":"\u003cp\u003eAdam McEwen (born 1965, London) is a British artist whose practice engages the deadpan, the institutional, and the residual. Working across sculpture, installation, and printed matter, McEwen produces objects that rework ordinary materials — graphite, chewing gum, industrial fittings — and cultural signs — obituaries, newspaper language, public announcements — into propositions that sit between use-value and art object, between document and monument.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMcEwen studied at Oxford and worked as an obituary writer for the \u003cem\u003eDaily Telegraph\u003c\/em\u003e before turning to art full-time, a background that inflects his practice’s sustained interest in public language, institutional form, and the afterlife of objects. He has exhibited internationally, with solo exhibitions at Galerie Art : Concept, Paris, and Nicole Klagsbrun Gallery, New York, among others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection brings together exhibition ephemera and printed matter connected to McEwen’s practice and institutional presentations.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"mcewen-non-alignment-pact-art-concept-inv-2014","title":"Adam McEwen — Non-Alignment Pact — Exhibition Opening Card, Art : Concept, Paris, 2014","description":"\u003cp\u003eExhibition opening card\u003cbr\u003eArt : Concept, Paris, 2014\u003cbr\u003e14.5 × 22 cm\u003cbr\u003eOffset print on card, folded pamphlet format\u003cbr\u003e24 October – 6 December 2014\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpening card issued for Adam McEwen’s third solo exhibition at Galerie Art : Concept, Paris, with vernissage on 23 October 2014.
