Adam Schary

Schary is a Los Angeles based artist and graduate of the University of California at Irvine. Schary lived the majority of his life in Southern California, where mirage environments and confused cultural history were always close by. Since 1998, Schary has been working through formal and intangible properties of art. He questions the environment around him, not to fix it, but to see how it affects him and others sharing the same space. His work has always questioned aspects of life most take for granted. Some earlier projects include, Money, which involved a series of phrases printed on dollar bills, the performance work, Punched by Strangers and Friends, and a series of sculptures that used the television set as a surface for conventional painting. Never sticking to one specific medium, Schary's work is never static and will continue to change along with the world he lives in.


Adam Schary est un artiste vivant à Los Angeles, diplômé de l’Université de Californie, à Irvine. Il a vécu principalement dans le sud de la Californie, où mirages et histoire culturelle confuse font bon ménage. Depuis 1998, il travaille sur les propriétés formelles et intangibles de l’art. Il s’interroge sur l’environnement qui l’entoure, non pas pour le figer, mais pour comprendre comment ce dernier l’affecte lui-même et ses semblables. Son travail a toujours questionné les aspects de la vie qui semblent les plus évidents. Parmi ses projets figurent : Money, une série de phrases imprimées sur des dollars, la performance Punched by Strangers and Friends (Frappé par des étrangers et des amis) et des sculptures qui emploient le poste de télévision comme surface picturale.
