Adam Green

You might remember him from his work with the Moldy Peaches, his solo albums or even last year’s film, shot completely on an iPhone, The Wrong Ferrari. But Adam Green has yet another life: fine artist. Next week, Green’s latest exhibit, titled Cartoon and Complaint, will open at Intercourse Exhibition Space, aritist Dustin Yellin’s Brooklyn Gallery. We caught up with Green to find out about the work he’s showing, his partnership with Yellin and just what Snow White has to do with his art.

dialapoem

Click a little button on the Museum of Modern Art's website and you may be greeted with a honking, haunting jam from Laurie Anderson or the calming words of John Ashbery: "A people chained to aurora / I alone disarming you / millions of facts of distributed light." The combination of music and literature that comes from the MoMA's Dial-A-Poem installation, part of the 'Ecstatic Alphabet / Heaps of Language' Exhibition running now until August 27th, is the best kind of crapshoot—emotionally jarring and always enriching. Patrons can dial any of the phones at the exhibit, click a button on the website or call the local New York number 347-POET001 at any time of day to receive a poem or musical work at random. Callers may be greeted with old favorites like William S. Burroughs, Frank O'Hara or Allen Ginsberg, more contemporary NYC poetry lumnaries like Miguel Piñero and Bob Holman or the music of Nick Cave, Hüsker Dü, Tom Waits or Philip Glass, along with many, many more.
