Sidney Cooper Gallery Sidney Cooper Gallery ADAM CHODZKO DESIGN FOR A FOLD SECONDARY LEARNING PACK 16 OCT – 21 NOV 2015 ADAM CHODZKO 2013 We are Ready for your Arrival [Detail] (2013 at Raven Row, Londo, Two person exhibition with Iain Baxter.) Sculpture, video, drawing and photography, exploring manifestations of the unconscious relationships between COVER IMAGE individuals and groups; their excesses, displacements and disappearances. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Adam Chodzko’s art explores the interactions and possibilities of human behaviour. Exhibiting internationally since 1991, Chodzko works across media, from video installation to subtle interventions, with a practice that is situated both within the gallery and the wider public realm. His work investigates and invents possibilities of collective imagination in order to reveal the realities and fantasies that might emerge from the processes of engagement his practice evolves. Design for a Fold is a new installation incorporating many of Chodzko’s works made ‘locally’ since 2001, mapping his particular engagement with diverse places, times and communities around where he lives and works in Whitstable, Kent, alongside new work which seeks to root, or fold, the idea of the local within another, apparently remote, alien and distant place; Beppu, Japan. Chodzko proposes a new understanding of Kent, that questions assumptions of who, what, when and where we might be. Design for a Fold suggests, through a recontextualising of his archive of artwork, new, dynamic and global connections that weave together the real and hidden with collective mythology and imagination. This exhibition has been kindly supported by the Arts Council England and the Elephant Trust. 03 CV ADAM CHODZKO Adam Chodzko (born 1965) is a contemporary British artist, exhibiting internationally. His practice uses a wide range of media, including video, installation, photography, drawing and performance. Chodzko studied at University of Manchester, BA (Hons) History of Art, 1985–88 and Goldsmiths College, London, MA Fine Art, 1992–94. Since 1991, Chodzko has exhibited at numerous venues around the world including Tate Britain; Tate St.Ives; Venice Biennale; Royal Academy; Ikon Gallery; Henry Moore Institute; Yorkshire Sculpture Park; Istanbul Biennial; Benakie Museum, Athens and Folkestone Triennial.

WHAT TIME DO YOU START WORK? I wake up early and am alert. I start work straight away. 2. WHO IS ADAM CHODZKO? That is a difficult question to answer. Adam is always changing from life experiences. The man that went to Japan a few months ago is very different to the Adam you see here today. 3. HOW DID YOU BECOME AN ARTIST? I decided at about age 23 to become an artist because I kept telling my friends I wanted to be one. 4. WHERE DO YOU LIVE? I live in Whitstable in Kent. I’ve lived there since 2001. 5. WHO DO YOU LIVE WITH? I live with my wife Gretchen, who is an actress and my two sons Seph, 14 and Clay, 11. 6. WHEN DID YOU START SCHOOL? I started school when I was 5 years’ old. 7. WHEN DID YOU STOP SCHOOL? My formal education stopped in 1994 – 21 years ago. 8. WHY DO YOU LIKE ART? Good question. The freedom it can bring together incredible things in a very simple way without needing other people to help you. 9. WHAT WAS THE FIRST ART YOU DID? Probably when I was about 1 years old with a crayon or pencil. 10. HOW DID YOU GET YOUR IDEA WHEN YOU DID THE ART? They come partly from looking at the world and seeing things I like. Or by hearing some music I want to draw that in a lot too. I use film a lot. I’ve become bad a reading and film is a big influence on me. Quite often conversations I have with my sons will end up in part of an artwork. I often go running to empty my head and to allow stuff to come up. 11. WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE COLOUR? Olive green and electric blue (although I don’t wear it). 12. WHEN WERE YOU BORN? I was born in 1965 just outside of London. My father was half Polish and my mother is half Scottish. 13. WHERE DO YOU COME FROM? I come from London although I live in Whitstable. 14. WHEN DID YOU START THIS JOB? I gradually became an artist. I knew I wanted to work in a gallery but I always wanted to make my own work and to work on my own. Making art makes me feel free and I enjoy taking risks. 15. DO YOU LIKE THIS JOB? Yes I do. 16. WHO HELPED YOU TO BECOME AN ARTIST? My parents helped me to become an artist. My father died in 2000 but he had an incredible imagination – he liked to think but wasn’t very practical. My mother is very practical and has a great energy. 17. WHY DO YOU LIKE ART? I like the freedom it can give you. 18. DO YOU LIKE CHIPS? Yes I do! But I try not to eat too many of them; although there is a good chip shop near to where I live. 19. WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY? My family and being with them and my work. I like walking and I like certain foods, like Tom Yum soup. 20. DO YOU LIKE PAINTING? Yes, I started off painting but I hardly paint anymore. I find it quite difficult and I like looking at it. I find it frustrating in that you have to wait for it to dry. 21. WHAT IS YOUR JOB? That’s a difficult question. 22. WHEN DID YOU START ART? My first artwork was when I was about 14 or 15. I was inventing album covers for musicians that I really liked. Before that, I drew a lot of spaceships. My dad used to draw and I drew a lot as a child. 23. WHERE DID YOU LEARN? I did an Art History degree at the University of Manchester and then studied an MA at Goldsmiths in London. 24. WHO HELPED YOU TO BECOME SUCCESSFUL? My parents did. 25. WHAT IS THE KEY TO YOUR SUCCESS? Hard work. Being very true to yourself and what you believe in. Be focused and trust in how strange your work is. It is a slow process. It is a long-term process finding what you believe in. 26. HOW MANY YEARS HAVE YOU BEEN WITH ART? Since I was a young child. OVER TO YOU: What questions would you like to ask Adam? What do you think his answer to your questions might be? Do you think you would like to meet Adam? Are there any answers here that surprise you? Would you like to be in his art – like his sons often are? 07 ADAM CHODZKO: GHOST 2010 Alaskan yellow cedar, western red cedar, Fijian mahogany, oak, ash, olive, walnut, and mixed media. 23”h x 31”w x 22’l Ghost is a kayak; a sculpture as vessel, coffin, bed, costume and camera rig.

  • Press Release Adam Chodzko, 2007 (Pdf)
    For immediate release 13/11/ 07 THEN, ​an intriguing new Breaking Ground multi-part public artwork in various locations across Dublin by acclaimed British artist Adam Chodzko. Residents of Ballymun are perplexed this morning by a series of posters, which have mysteriously appeared overnight on hoarding along the Balbutcher Road, announcing a meeting to take place in the foyer of the Hagens Hotel, Måløy, Sogn og Fjordane, on the island of Vågsøy. Yet the photo on the poster seems to be a streetscape in Mexico City, taken in the early ‘70’s. Each afternoon, on the top floor of the recently restored ​Na Píobairí Uilleann ​/Uillean Pipers headquarters on Henrietta Street, ​a new sci-fi film, ‘Around’, documenting the paranormal and uncanny properties of an otherwise unremarkable boundary wall and its effects on an unsuspecting group of individuals, is showing. And visitors to Dublin City Gallery ​the Hugh Lane​, can ​swap their shoes for someone else’s, which they’ll wear as they walk around the Gallery’s other exhibitions and permanent collection. Meanwhile, preliminary discussions with ​property developer Mick Wallace are being had, about the possibility of using the name Ballymun in a new development somewhere else in the city, some time in the future. “Adam Chodzko is recognised internationally for his multi-media work which triggers a shift in our perception of where we think we belong in the world​. Fact and fiction are provocatively intermixed, and terms such as ‘community’ and ‘the public’ are deviated as we enter a surrealist world which plays on notions that we take for granted and assume that we understand!” says Aisling Prior, curator of Breaking Ground.

Peer Sessions is a London-based nomadic crit group, established in 2009 by artists Kate Pickering and Charlotte Warne Thomas. Peer Sessions’ monthly meetings provide a forum for artists to come together to discuss and receive feedback on recent work in relation to current concerns in contemporary art and culture. In addition, we organise projects: workshops, exhibitions and residencies focusing on direct artistic collaboration. For Future Refrains, Peer Sessions selected three member artists and invited each to choose a recent MA Fine Art graduate with whom to collaborate. Future Refrains will feature these three new commissions, alongside works from established artists Adam Chodzko and Lindsay Seers, who have each guest moderated recent Peer Sessions crit groups. As part of Future Refrains, a performance and screening day with live panel discussion, Collaboration in Question, on Saturday 23rd September will explore the processes and implications of collaborative practice for this project and in the wider world of contemporary art. Peer Sessions derives its name from the double meaning of the word peer: both in terms of examining something in depth and referring to a group of equals – artists who have recently completed postgraduate education.

    Bad Behaviour from the Arts Council Collection A new National Touring Exhibition from the Hayward Gallery Bad Behaviour charts a subversive streak in contemporary art, focusing on a generation of artists who challenge conventions and overturn established principles and social codes. Featuring over 50 works from the Arts Council Collection, mostly recent acquisitions, this new National Touring Exhibition from the Hayward Gallery, South Bank Centre presents contemporary British sculpture, installation, photography and video from the 80s to now. It opens at Longside Gallery in November before touring extensively around the UK. Some artists take the term ‘bad behaviour’ literally. In Gilbert & George’s Gordon’s Makes Us Drunk a camera is directed on the artists as they become increasingly intoxicated, drinking glass after glass of neat gin. A giant plastic gnome is covered with cigarettes by Sarah Lucas for her sculpture Willy, while Ultralow sees Jim Lambie smoking his way through an packet of Silk Cut Ultralows, one after the other, in the dark. Several of the works challenge national institutions with anti-establishment sentiment. Although politically subversive in content they retain a tongue-in-cheek cynicism. Jonathan Parsons’s Achrome reduces the Union Flag to a representation of the original drained of all its colour while Jason Coburn makes a drawing on covertly obtained Ministry of Defence headed notepaper. Gregory Green reminds us of political unrest with his installation of an impromptu bomb-making factory. Other artists borrow the language of protest sloganeering to make works whose messages are de-politicised and obscured in their present context. The rhetoric of protest is the inspiration for Bob and Roberta Smith’s video Make Art not War, where the artist assumes the role of a crazed political orator.
