\"\"Adam Simon<\/a> (born Hampstead, England, 1952) is a visual artist based in Brooklyn, NY, known both for his paintings and for projects addressing the presentation and distribution of art. Simon\u2019s paintings often mine cultural phenomena, including newspaper layout and content, stock photography, iconic images from art history and (most recently) corporate logos. His current exhibition at OSMOS address, in NYC, combines fragments from past paintings.<\/p>\n

Simon\u2019s public projects began with Four Walls, an artists\u2019 forum and exhibition space that featured one-evening exhibitions with discussion. Simon co-directed Four Walls first with Michele Araujo in Hoboken, NJ (1984-1988) and subsequently with Mike Ballou in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, NY (1990-1998). The Four Walls archives are now housed in the Smithsonian Archive of American Art. Simon\u2019s other well-known public project was the Fine Art Adoption Network, in collaboration with the NYC nonprofit, Art in General. Beginning in 2006, over 350 artists posted images of works they were willing to give to adopters they selected from among those that solicited the works online. Over 600 works were adopted through FAAN.<\/p>\n

Simon has exhibited his paintings in the United States and Europe. He has been the recipient of several awards and grants including a NYC Percent for Art commission and a Yaddo artist\u2019s residency.<\/p>\n
