With a career spanning over three decades, Adams is based in Toronto and has been featured in numerous books and catalogues. His work is held in major public collections, including the Art Gallery of Ontario ( https://ago.ca/exhibitions/kim-adams-recent-works ), the National Gallery of Canada ( https://www.gallery.ca/magazine/artists/ggavma/distinguishing-the-visual-arts-in-canada ), the Art Gallery of Hamilton ( https://www.artgalleryofhamilton.com/exhibition/kim-adams-bruegel-bosch-bus/?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwj4K5BhDYARIsAD1Ly2oyyh4cfZM1vRxcxfRnXy6pazYsX4zQQROCm-4Zz2DebAdzDgcrkiIaAsgPEALw_wcB ), and the Centraal Museum in the Netherlands. Adams has exhibited extensively both in Canada and internationally, including the Skulptur Projekte ( https://artmap.com/skulpturprojekte/exhibition/skulptur-projekte-muenster-1997-1997 ) in Münster, the Sydney Biennial (Australia) ( https://www.artforum.com/events/biennale-of-sydney-2002-2-206185/ ), The Power Plant (Toronto). His work, which blends humor, satire, and seriousness, constructs “worlds” as a form of social critique, occupying the unique space between life and art.\nImage:\nKim Adams, Bruegel-Bosch Bus, 1959 Volkswagen bus, figurines, mixed media, 1996-ongoing.
