The exhibition A Deeper Shade, by Los Angeles-based artist James Adams, moves to a Phantom Galleries LA location at the Pacific Electric Lofts Building in Downtown Los Angeles beginning June 6th, 2008. The exhibit was previously installed at 301 Pine, the CSULB Art Department Galleries Downtown Long Beach location.
In A Deeper Shade, Adams explores altered states of consciousness and perception, both as sensual phenomena and as the philosophical longing for meaning and expression. Adams uses elements from the languages of photography, film and special effects to create work ranging from visually overwhelming, wall-size digital prints to intimate, meditative video installations.
James Adams lives and works in Los Angeles. He received his MFA from California State University, Long Beach in 2008. He also holds a degree in biochemistry from the University of Iowa with postgraduate studies in molecular biology at UCLA. Adams's work spans across media and disciplines from video and sound to sculpture, printmaking, painting and installation. His work has been exhibited throughout Southern California and New York, and his single channel videos have screened at the Experimental Edit International Experimental Video Festival in Auckland, New Zealand.. His interests include the phenomenology of visual and sensual experience and the social, political, aesthetic and personal ramifications of altered states of consciousness and perception.
