"I Do Adore" is an exhibition of emerging and well established women
photographers from across the world. Each of the featured artists have created
names for themselves through various outlets from books to magazine features
to exhibitions to ad campaigns. One thing that each of these women have in common
is their passion and talent for photography. Their styles range from street
documentation to editorial, fine art to photo journalism and portraiture. In
a fusing of all these different styles from such influential photographers,
"I Do Adore" brings with it all the character and emotion that these
artists have captured from behind the lens. Every photographer that was invited
to be a part of this exhibition has shown the exceptional ability to find the
hidden energy within a setting and bring its image to life.
Subliminal Projects was created by artist Shepard Fairey and Blaze Blouin in 1995, as an artist collective, using skateboards as a fine art medium. By expanding beyond skateboards and apparel to include fine art prints, the group began drawing the attention of Aaron Rose, curator of Alleged Gallery in New York. As a result, Subliminal is one of the key groups responsible for cementing the relationship between the skateboard culture with the fine art world, working with then-unknown artists such as Phil Frost, Thomas Campbell, Mike Mills, Dave Aaron, and Mark Gonzales. By re-introducing Subliminal Projects to the current art scene, Amanada and Shepard Fairey continue to promote collaborations in the form of publications, art shows, and events between artists of varying disciplines. The resurrected Subliminal Projects is located on the second floor of the Wiltern Theater Building in the heart of Los Angeles, operating in the space formerly occupied by BLK/MRKT Gallery.
