Visiting Artist Lecture: Adam Milner
Civic Square Building 33 Livingston Avenue, New Brunswick, NJ, United StatesAdam Milner is an artist and writer in Brooklyn, New York. Milner’s practice centers the accumulation and preservation of everyday leftovers. Culled from the processes of living—from sleeping and eating, to walking, working, circulating blood, and having relationships—intimate fragments are contemplated and recontextualized, taking form as sculpture, drawing, intervention, text, and image. As parts are combined and reconfigured in the artist’s home studio, archives or assemblages emerge that offer new ways of considering material and social worlds. Milner’s work has been exhibited in galleries, museums, public space, and at home.

Rutgers Jazz Lab Band: “Jazz & The Music of Brazil”
New Brunswick Performing Arts Center 11 Livingston Avenue, New Brunswick, NJ, United StatesThe development of musical style in Brazil can be described as an example of cultural creolization in the New World.
