NEW YORK, March 31, 2024 — To usher in the spring season, ACOMPI and Adam Milner present April, a selection from the artist’s collection of objects staged within the confines of a medicine cabinet. Featuring miniature sculptures, artwork fragments, and cherished tchotchkes, Milner has paired an object to each day in April. Straddling the format of horoscopes and advent calendars, the project visualizes the artist’s internal logic, portending fortune through revelation.

The genesis of the exhibition can be traced back to Milner's three-tier plinth, a felt-covered wooden platform that serves as a canvas for Milner's ever-growing collection of small treasures.  A testament to the artist's ongoing dialogue with the material world, the plinth is ever changing and currently holds hundreds of objects. Found trinkets, welded miniatures by Milner's father, fragments of artworks, and other various small things offer glimpses into Milner's creative lineage through fleeting relics.

Milner builds on artistic precedents that have transformed daily urban detritus into miniature sculptural formations, from Yoko Ono's Morning Piece (1964–65) to the ongoing zips of Yuji Agematsu. For “April,” the transformation of an in-use IKEA GODMORGON medicine cabinet into an exhibition space emphasizes the potential of everyday minutiae.
