- Dennis Adams was born in 1948, in Iowa. He received his BFA from Drake University in Des Moines in 1969, and his MFA from Tyler in 1971. Adams began as a painter, but by the age of 18 had become decidedly interested in relief space and then architectural space. By the time he was 20 Adams had become fascinated with family photographs and films. Rather than being interested in the autobiographical information contained within these images, Adams was interested in the societal implications of images in general. Adams is a conceptually based artist whose work includes photography, text and installation. He is best known for his bus shelter projects involving structures placed at urban bus stops that uncompromisingly insert themselves into the public sphere. These politically charged photographs and their accompanying texts are not used to make overtly ideological statements, but are open-ended in a way that challenges the viewer to test his or her own convictions.
