Adam Schreiber Reverent Estimations
Artist Statement
“My work is the result of an institutional experience, taking as subject certain features found within the walls of the University of Texas. These features have included a presidential archive, research clean-rooms, and the surfaces of miscellaneous modular facilities. By slow accumulation, the pictures have developed into a kind of unanchored map describing intensities, thresholds, and objects. That said, favoritism for a prevailing mood of surface obsolescence informs the course. Pictures intersect in ways too numerous for their subjects to describe. Subjects are named, estimations are made, photographs intervene; their scrutiny is a favorable retaliation for the durability of fiction.”
