Show of the series' sketches bedtime ', designs made their bed under the covers, and a series of structured collage on old yellowed papers or so' veiled colors faded to appear opalescent.
By Guillaume Von Holden
The body of work of this new course of the research of Joseph Adam (Alcamo, 1982), is divided into two small blocks of narrative The first consists of a series of sketches bedtime " , drawings to read as the author calls them, methodically made his home into a stupor in bed, just before the lids covering the eyeball for some hours, and a structured series of collages on old cards now yellowed or faded so that they appear to be veiled opal color.
Man, every day, closes his eyes about 9600 times, and since, each time, the eyelids move approximately 0.6 cm, each year they account for more than fifty kilometers, a minimum displacement and absolutely stunning . And is 0.6 cm in those who seem to live the teeming figures of meticulous "bedtime sketches, drawings as intermittent flashbacks that seem to dissolve slowly not just open her eyelids.
The formal composition of the black stroke of a pen on paper a5, this Once innocent and not veered from the time, Adam develops a narrative circle, a loop, able to regenerate itself without interruption. In parallel, the long search of images from old magazines or medical textbooks, but flourishes in mild and delicate assemblies of pictorial cancellations through that seem to violate the milky screen printing. Small collage of scenes where ordinary loneliness flirt with deformities of nature, in an unknown world where the reset of all forms of communication is the only law incontrovertible.
Joseph Adam was one of the leaders of this team from Palermo to the different editions of the "Sweet Sheets," "Reduced Radical" at the Museo Civico di Castelbuono and "Off course / Off course" in China, both edited by Helga Marsala, and in 2006 for "nerves" at the Cantieri Culturali Zisa in Palermo.
