David B. Smith Gallery

Adam Milner draws upon personal exchanges with people, things and institutions, to examine systems of intimacy, valueand power. Approaching materials and spaces that are often off limits, his works reveal boundaries and involve a processof negotiation and exchange; he has performed aboard a cruise ship hosted by the app Grindr, collaborated withmaterial engineers at NASA to use rare lunar regolith simulant, intervened in the archives of Andy Warhol, androutinely drawn his boyfriend’s blood.

He has exhibited at The Warhol, Museum of Contemporary Art Denver, Aspen Art Museum, Casa Maauad, GaleríaMascota, Flux Factory, Florian Christopher Zurich, and David B. Smith Gallery. Milner received an MFA from CarnegieMellon University (2017), is a recent participant of the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture (2018), and is currently a fellow with Black Cube Nomadic Museum. Milner lives and works in Brooklyn.
