Images in Adam Ekberg‘s first solo show at ClampArt, “Adam Ekberg: Orchestrating the Ordinary,” are, in fact, manufactured.

“Within the constructed images, I reposition specific celebratory iconography to create minor spectacles,” Ekberg said in a statement about his work. “My process requires detailed and elaborate production outside the photographic frame so that what appears within the frame implies simplicity and straightforwardness.”

“Adam Ekberg: Orchestrating the Ordinary” as well as “Pacifico Silano: Against Nature” opens today at ClampArt in New York City with a reception with the artists from 6–8 pm. Visit the gallery’s website for more information.
