Adam Schreiber
Austin, TX
November 18, 2010–January 09, 2011
Adam Schreiber is an Austin-based photographer who mines the potential meanings of cultural artifacts and abandoned corporate spaces. Concerning his philosophy, Schreiber states that he is "more interested in how the medium of photography invents something than how it records something." This is notable given that the source of many of his photographs is local archives-such as the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Harry Ransom Center in Austin-where records of historical importance are collected and preserved. By isolating imagery of outdated technology and sterile laboratory settings from their cultural significance, Schreiber enables the viewer to re-imagine these spaces and objects in new and unexpected ways.
