Redirect Our Medium

Adam Green first made a name for himself in the late-'90s "anti-folk" scene as one half of the duo Moldy Peaches (with Kimya Dawson). He has since released numerous solo recordings on Rough Trade Records, and recently expanded his field of activities to art and film making. Adam sees a kindred spirit in the artist and music video director Todd DiCiurcio, who lives life by way of in-the-moment creation and expression. Adam and Todd's friend, artist Richard Philiips, wrote this about their creative kinship: “Within our creative lives, the submission to the strictures of existing forms and the subsequent delivery of appropriate content defines convention. The rationality and repetition of convention quickly builds traditions and therefore a sense of security. The nature of avant-garde practice engages in putting this notion of security under pressure and challenges the assumptions of the production of authority that comes with it. The avant-garde act is one of disrupting and reordering the sequences and attendant meanings of how form articulates content from concept to subjective reception and on to cognitive processing. In "Redirect Our Medium," Adam Green and Todd DiCiurcio address how their approaches to their practices are changing to subvert the slippage into passive acceptance and comfort.”
