In 2007, he reintroduced fire extinguisher graffiti to Brooklyn, New York through a series of high-profile public sites. In 2015, Adam and his wife, artist Chelsea Ragan, founded the School of the Alternative (or Black Mountain School), an experiment in education and community based on the original campus of Black Mountain College. The project is a contemporary DIY interpretation of BMC, featuring a collaborative learning environment where educators create the content of study, students determine their level of engagement, and tuition is affordable for all. The school continues to challenge traditional education and has brought together artists, thinkers, and educators from across the globe. AVOID is a main character in the 2016 existential fantasy film, Wastedland 2 (Dir. Andrew H. Shirley). Heralded as "A new Wizard of Oz for the Anarchist Street Youth." by Charlie Ahearn, Wastedland 2 is set in a post-apocalyptic land, the last few remaining inhabitants are the spirit animals of graffiti writers. The film has toured the United States as a Do-It-Yourself art show and experimental film screening. (en) |
