Artist bio:

Cey Adams, a New York City native, emerged from the downtown graffiti movement to exhibit alongside fellow artists Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring. He appeared in the historic 1982 PBS documentary Style Wars which tracks subway graffiti in New York. As the Creative Director of hip hop mogul Russell Simmons' Def Jam Recordings, he co-founded the Drawing Board, the label's in-house visual design firm, where he created visual identities, album covers, logos, and advertising campaigns for Run DMC, Beastie Boys, LL Cool J, Public Enemy, Notorious B.I.G., Maroon 5, and Jay-Z. He exhibits, lectures and teaches art workshops at institutions including: MoMA, Brooklyn Museum, Museum of the City of New York, New York University, Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, Walker Art Center, MoCA Los Angeles, Pratt Institute, Stamford University, Howard University, Atlanta Contemporary Art Center, High Museum, Brooklyn Academy of Music, and Mount Royal University and The University of Winnipeg in Canada. He co-authored DEFinition: The Art and Design of Hip-Hop, published by Harper-Collins; and designed Def Jam Recordings: The First 25 Years of the Last Great Record Label, published by Rizzoli. Cey's work explores the relationship between transformation and discovery. His practice involves dismantling various imagery and paper elements to build multiple layers of color, texture, shadow, and light. Cey draws inspiration from 60's pop art, sign painting, comic books, and popular culture. His work focuses on themes including pop culture, race and gender relations, cultural and community issues.

Brooklyn Arts Council is pleased to partner with artists-X-change, a collective of artists who have joined forces to provide mutual aid and allies to those artists in need and most impacted, both by COVID-19 and other current events.

Artists-X-change's first initiative is the BoX Project, which provides art lovers with a way to donate to a vetted partner and receive a unique BoX of art in return. As their first partner, Brooklyn Arts Council will be the recipient of all funds raised through the first edition of the BoX Project.

Each BoX contains five original small artworks (with a maximum size of 5"x7") from artists in the artists-X-change collective plus an invited artist chosen by Brooklyn Arts Council. Featured artists include Ellen Blum, Michael Davis, Jada Fabrizio, Abby Goldstein, Nicole Laemmle, Christina Massey, Nina Meledandri, Jack Robinson, Margot Spindelman, and Randall Stoltzfus. Each BoX is hand-created and hand-curated by artists-X-change and is unique in composition. Every BoX is one of a limited edition of twenty.

Every aspect of the BoX Project is being donated, from the artwork to the production. We are thrilled to be recognized for the work we do and to be able to offer you a chance to support us while receiving this extraordinary collection of artworks in return.
