All set w/ framing my work for Nick Marshall’s My Apocalypse exhibition in Rochester later this month. Yep, that’s a barf bag.

Hieee
My name is Adam, I'm a photography professor, and I make things. I also edit a photography mag called UntitledCereal which publishes and promotes student photography, and make hand-pulled t-shirts when needed. Check out my online sale of framed photographs, peruse my archived projects, or say hello through email.
And if that wasn't enough, I can be found wandering the following spaces.

April update
[April 26th, 2012]
I’ve been included in a show called My Armageddon w/ lots of great people in Rochester, NY this May. My good friend Nick Marshall is curating the exhibit. To help fund the show, space rental, etc., he’s started a Kickstarter.
In other news, I spent a few days at Clemson University meeting w/ grad students, and gave a lecture to a packed crowd at the Lee Gallery on campus. The lecture was scheduled for the opening reception of the Alignments exhibition, which included Nancy Floyd, Constance Thalken, Adam Jacono, Polly Gaillard, and Michael Marshall.
August update
[August 10th, 2011]
Exhibit I’m currently hanging work for a solo at the Milburn Stone Gallery at Cecil College, and prepping for classes which start at the end of August. I was told M.Stone was an actor in Gunsmoke (1955), then promptly considered looping the classic as part of my show. I should probably watch it first…
Photo/Video Cecil has this amazing closet of photographic goodies for check out. I’m especially enjoying the GoPro—hooked one to my bike helmet, surf board, and look forward to the chest harness for an upcoming Run for Your Lives 5k. I’ve also been loving the Canon t21 video feature, but haven’t made anything significant past constantly handing it off to my cousins. In GoPro realm I’m thinking non-extreme, like mowing the lawn.
New Favorite Thing In honor of Steve Lambert getting double funding for his capitalism project, I’d like to post my newest favorite thing below, out of context. Ok, here’s your context. Also this this version of Home by Edward Sharpe is pretty cute.

Vox Populi VII juried show
[June 6th, 2011]
My piece was selected!
July 8: Opening reception, 6-11pm, map
Thank you to the amazing jurors Melissa Ho and Hennessy Youngman.
here’s a link to all the artists selected
UPDATE: 7/6/2011
Philadelphia Weekly wrote a nice paragraph about my image below, and summary of the show which you can find here.
“…Like Youngman, Jacono also plies subcultures with a critical eye; his black-and-white pigment print, “Praise,” captures the devoted in different states of worship—many of whom were no doubt surprised when the forecasted Rapture called in a rain check this past May. As in much of his work, the photo collage is laced with the idea of being sick of consumer culture, hinted at here by the Megachurch mantra that faith returns in riches. Jacono’s image is a patchwork of snapshots sutured together to form a pulsing sea of raised arms and upturned faces that bear more than a passing resemblance to brokers on the floor of the stock exchange.”

Exhibited Works in Jersey, Mexico, the street
[May 27th, 2011]
Earlier this month, I sent a big box of framed works to a fellow curatorial intern at the VASA Project, Alisandra Wederich. She manages the art gallery at the Straube Center in Pennington, NJ, and agreed to exhibit some of my work. Here’s a link to my artist page over there with images of the work, a statement and bio. You can also find some of the pieces for sale right here.
TODAY: Óscar Benassini and PRETEEN GALLERY presents A 21st Century Idea of Happiness (press release). In addition, Óscar did a nice synopsis of the included artists:
Emily´s piece is a series of audio tracks called Unanswered Questions Adam´s piece is a video called Mantalk, involving consumer culture and contemporary art critcism. Michelle´s piece is an installation that evokes some a fordism feeling involved in a post 90´s and obscure ritual. Hopeh Epoh, Nik and Daniel pieces are nostalgic posters reminding hellenistic aesthetics recovered through software.
In other, less fine-arty news…
I did a craft fair in Danville, VA in early May. Kris and I had this perfect spot under a tree where we basically people-watched all day. They closed the street down so I skated the massive Main St. hill and we met lots of people from the community, including Jerry from Spin Bike Shop (I’m in the works for building him a new site).

Appetite show @Mary Brogan Museum
[April 16th, 2011]
Just received some images from the Appetite show at the Mary Brogan Museum in Tallahassee, FL. I had the pleasure of attending the opening during SPESE last Fall, and eating lots of pizza provided by curator George Blakely of FSU. Lots of great artist friends were represented like Christin Boggs, Keith Yahrling, Nate Larson, and a few pieces from Jacquelyn C. Black’s workLast Meal was on exhibit.
That's my piece on the left titled Leftovers

Whitefish Review & more
[January 16th, 2011]
Really happy to have my Bear Hunter image published in Issue 8 of the Whitefish Review, thanks for looking out Mr. Blue. Also, the good folks at PhotoVolume.org posted an image of mine. They’re doing something similar to UntitledCereal, only in Ireland. Hey, photo students – send them your work!

UntitledCereal

Issue 1 of UntitledCereal has been out for one month! I’ve started a Facebook Fan page, added a Twitter feed, and plan to get some media printed before SPE National. The next issue is due out March 15th, and I’ve already got some prospects in the works. Special thank you to the amazing photo students at USC Columbia for getting the ball rolling with this current issue. Here’s one of my favorites from the bunch -
