甜-甜-泳圈

有人把冰淇淋比作夏天的情人：对你冷酷一生，融化只需三秒，泳池更是！它比太阳炙热，比月亮还亮。当我们倚靠在甜甜圈似的泳圈时，眼前会是什么风景呢？

会想起David Hockney那朵激荡的“大水花 ”？Leandro Erlich虚实的“泳池”？Susanne Lorenz与西班牙建筑师AMP和Gil Wilk合作的漂浮泳池？James Turrell光与水迷幻的Baker Pool？Maria Svarbova镜头中社会主义时期兼具超现实感和戏剧性的泳池？Gray Malin让密集恐惧症抓狂的一千个波普风泳圈......还有，Derrick Adams（德里克·亚当斯），他的泳池在夏天有一种茁壮的趣味。

当代艺术是人用美学的方式、美学的思考，

或者说用哲学的方式应对当代生活，

表达一种形态，或色彩，或声音，

或一种极为个人的语感和思考，

表达对现代生活的一种理解和评价，

当代艺术已经代替了哲学的位置，

在当今社会中具有与实用主义、物质主义等

简单欲望相抗衡的现代人的属性。

In a diverse practice that spans collage, sculpture, performance, drawing, and video, Derrick Adams explores the force of popular culture in our lives and plays with perception in relation to objects and texts. Rooted in deconstructivist philosophies, Adams’s work focuses on the fragmentation and manipulation of structure and surface. He frequently reconfigures familiar objects; for one series he updated mass-produced African figurines, turning them into superhero-like icons. “Most of my work resides in this idea of how outside influences impact the construction of self-image,” he has said. His series "Deconstruction Worker" includes 100 pieces that examine the construction of the figure and image, including collaged profiles of heads composed of mashed-up elements that suggest architectural floorplans.

在一个跨越拼贴，雕塑，表演，绘画和视频的多元化实践中，德里克·亚当斯探索了流行文化在我们生活中的力量，并在与物体和文本相关的感知中发挥作用。根据解构主义哲学，亚当斯的工作重点是结构和表面的分裂和操纵。他经常重新配置熟悉的对象; 在一个系列中，他更新了大规模生产的非洲小雕像，将它们变成了超级英雄般的偶像。“我的大部分工作都在于这种关于外部影响如何影响自我形象建构的想法，”他说。他的系列作品“解构工人”包括100件作品，用于检查人物和图像的构造，包括由建议平面图构成的捣碎元素组成的头部的拼贴轮廓。
