- Adam Worden: Collages
- Personal Creator
- Adam Worden
- Description
- Worden's threadbare collages are the result of scavenging for inexpensive materials. They are exquisitely composed compositions and derived from a wide variety of material and sources. He was able to combine funky Beat aesthetics with the utopian visions of the Hippie culture. One of the most distinctive features of his collages are their diminutive size, the smallest of which are affixed to business cards and measure a mere 3 1/2 x 2 inches. Worden also produced complete sets of collaged playing cards. As supports for his pasted papers and fabric, he used cut up cardboard, game boards, masonite, and wall paneling. His largest collage works are still modestly scaled, averaging 24 x 15 inches and fashioned from day-glo papers salvaged from billboards and fireworks stands. Worden tended to work in sets or series of related subjects or compositions. These include framed collages that feature apocalyptic visions, such as goddesses and bodhisattvas confronting characters from popular culture sources. Visual poetry fashioned from the common and the extraordinary. Exhibition held in the Street Level Gallery space.

- 2022 - Is Hallyu (K-wave) the Next Mainstream Culture of the World? - Poster Presentation
- Description
- This research will examine the history of Korean pop culture, also known as “K-culture,” how it started and spread, and its relation to globalization. When many experts explain how Hallyu spread worldwide, they tend to give credit to the Korean government. Partially it is correct but mostly wrong. The Korean government realized that Steven Spielberg’s 1993 epic Jurassic Park raked in more cash for Universal Pictures than the return on a year’s worth of Hyundai cars. So, they realized how precious the culture industry could be, and they thought it would be their primary industry to benefit. This thought sparked their support in the cultural sector. Thus, Hallyu, Korea’s entertainment industry, was born. But many countries support their cultural industry, but they cannot succeed as much as Korea, so just only the government’s support cannot explain the success of Hallyu. This research will historically examine K-dramas like Winter Sonata to Netflix’s biggest hit, Squid Game, K-pop groups (such as BTS, Black Pink), and its explosive popularity in the United States.
