ADAM McEWEN (b. 1965, London, UK) 'Untitled (The Wrong Gallery Installation - Miniature Store Signs) ', 2002-03/2005 Artist Designed Multiple Boxed set of four (4) miniature printed static cling plastic store signs. Dimensions: 2" x 1-1/2" (5 x 4 cm.) each sign; 6" x 6" x 1" box. Open edition. Buyer pays $3.75 U.S. shipping via USPS First Class Mail. While working for the Daily Telegraph, Oxford graduate Adam McEwen, compiled obituaries for living figures - a job he later exploited in his first solo at Nicole Klagsbrun Gallery, NYC. T, in a show none-too-subtly titled ' History is a Perpetual Virgin endlessly and repeatedly Deflowered by successive generations of Fu*&ing Liars ,' McEwen exhibited ' obits ' of Bill Clinton, Nicole Kidman, and Jeff Koons, offering a funny, morbid take on celebrity obsession. These bewildering works highlight our society's involvement with celebrity by abruptly truncating lives still in progress, as well as part of our own culture. As is usually the case with this British artist's work, the stimuli that lurk beneath the surface of the work are familiar, everyday elements. His primary mode of operation is the thwarting of expectations known in art circles as intervention.
