Ephemeral, euphoric moments lie at the heart of video artist Adam Chapman’s work. Fleeting frames that flash briefly into focus, revealing beauty in the mechanics of a mysterious world. Combining contemporary tools of his own design with the millennia-old tradition of mark-making, his Starling Drawings explore “a system wherein rules govern discrete, abstract elements that build a greater representational form.”

Adam Chapman: Review & Exhibition

"Every tiny, grey speck in his Starling series represents an actual bird in flight, and the airborne murmurations reform on paper, capturing the dynamically fluid motion in two dimensions. Through August 2 at Kopeikin Gallery."

“Re-Present” at Elizabeth Leach features Adam Chapman’s “Diagram of Isolated Moments Forming a Memory.”
Exhibition runs February 04 - March 27, 2010

“Diagram of Isolated Moments Forming a Memory by Adam Chapman (San Francisco, CA) is a single channel programmed animation, framed and mounted as if it were a traditional drawing, in which colored lines and forms swim around, periodically forming representational portraits of the artist’s close friends and family. Every second of the installation is original. The piece is rule-generated and not a fixed composition, with a complete two-hour cycle forming fifty portraits. Chapman seeks to capture those fleeting, euphoric moments in which one catches a glimpse of clarity; a second of understanding one’s self, as well as one’s relationships.”

Article by Traci Vogel discusses Adam Champman’s work, “Diagram of Isolated Moments Forming a Memory.”
“The final artwork resembles an ink-and-watercolor sketch, and is displayed on a screen that is framed and mounted like a traditional drawing, so it's as if you're watching an invisible artist think a painting into being. Perhaps Chapman, who teaches at Parsons, the New School for Design, in New York, is making a statement about art as process; the compositions, he says, are generated by different rules each time.”
