Adam Chodzko & Tyler Woolcott

Adam Chodzko

Adam Chodzko is an artist working across media, exploring our conscious and unconscious behaviours, social relations and collective imaginations through artworks that become speculative forms of ‘social media.’ Exhibiting work nationally and internationally since 1991, his work wonders how, through the visual we might enhance our perception, creating better connections with others; what might we be becoming?

Chodzko has exhibited extensively in international solo and group exhibitions including: Tate Britain; Tate, St Ives; Raven Row; The Benaki Museum; Istanbul Biennale; Venice Biennale; Royal Academy; Deste Foundation; PS1; Kunstmuseum Luzern; Camden Arts Centre.

He has received awards from the Hamlyn Foundation and was shortlisted for the Jarman Awards. Chodzko’s work is in the collections of the Tate, The British Council, The British Film Institute, The Arts Council, Contemporary Art Society, Saatchi Collection, South London Gallery, Towner Gallery Eastbourne, The Wellcome Trust among many others.
