Adam McEwen — Rite Aid
Adam McEwen

Rite Aid

Adam McEwen's *Rite Aid* examines the intersection of consumer culture and everyday American life, using the ubiquitous pharmacy chain as a subject to explore themes of commerce, routine, and the mundane. McEwen's practice often transforms familiar, mass-produced imagery and corporate signage into objects of contemplation, inviting viewers to reconsider the cultural weight embedded in ordinary institutions. The work reflects his broader interest in language, mortality, and the quiet anxieties that underlie contemporary existence.
