Work
Adam Chodzko was born in London, England. He studied Art History at the University of Manchester and then Fine Art at Goldsmiths College in London.[1]
Chodzko works in a range of media from video, installation art to performance, to fly-posters and drawing in a practice which combines the strategies of conceptualism, documentary film, anthropology, and surrealism. He has assembled owners of a particular jacket and organised a reunion of the children 'murdered' in a Pasolini film;[2][3] staged a "god look-alike" contest;[4] given a London gallery's archive to a group of Kurdish asylum seekers to edit;[5] and created Design for a Carnival. This includes the legal purchase of a square foot of land as a gift to a stranger, Nightshift (a late night parade of nocturnal animals to the Frieze Art Fair),[6] and M-path (the collection and distribution of "appropriate" footwear for gallery visitors).[7] A trilogy of video installations, Hole, Around and Pyramid has made a series of myths derived from the relationship between a community and its architectural ruins.[8][9]
Since 1991, Chodzko has exhibited in Tate St Ives; Venice Biennale; Royal Academy, London; Deste Foundation, Athens; PS1, NY; Ikon Gallery, Birmingham; Kunstmuseum Luzern; and Folkestone Triennial. His commissioners include The Contemporary Art Society, Frieze Art Fair and Hayward Gallery. In 2002, he received awards from the Hamlyn Foundation and the Foundation for Contemporary Arts, New York, and in 2007 was awarded an AHRC Creative Research Fellowship in the Film Department at the University of Kent, Canterbury. His work is in the collections of the Tate, The British Council, The Arts Council and numerous international museums and private collections.[10]
He lives and works in Whitstable, Kent.
