Bio:
Industry of the Ordinary was formed in 2003. The two artists who make up this collaborative team, Adam Brooks and Mathew Wilson, have long histories as visual and performative artists. They bring complementary sensibilities to their activities. Their projects exist in temporal terms but have also been conceived to function on the website associated with the collaboration, http://www.industryoftheordinary.com. They have had solo shows at multiple venues including the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago and, most recently, a major mid-career survey at the Chicago Cultural Center that was received with much acclaim. Chicago Cultural Center exhibition reviews and articles (complete). Industry of the Ordinary performed at the opening of the Modern Wing of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2009. They also make work for a wide variety of private, semi-private and public settings, nationally and internationally, both temporary and permanent.
