“His velveteen tenor and blend of old-soul balladry and YouTube-friendly loops of live arrangements straddles generations.” Los Angeles Times

This exhibition will feature several works made throughout the artist’s career as sort of a mid-career retrospective. Adam Parker Smith has a unique ability to address complex themes in a whimsical, light-hearted way that makes his work incredibly accessible.
Adam Parker Smith is a sculpture and installation artist. He attended the University of California at Santa Cruz (BA Painting, 2000), the Tyler School of Art at Temple University (MFA Painting, 2003), and the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture (2008).
For his exhibition at SLOMA, San Luis Obispo-based artist Barry Goyette shows a series of portraits taken by a very specific mulberry tree as a site for portrait photography guided by the models, of varying stages of life. Attempting to reverse the traditional dynamics of power in portrait photographer, Goyette offers his camera in service to those he photographs, and they bring their own props, costumes, and stories – with the beloved mulberry tree as a key motif in all the images. Utilizing aging techniques in photography, Goyette seeks to activate slower ways of looking in the history of the medium.
