Adam Christensen

27 Apr-27 May 2019

Overview

Artist Adam Christensen will create a new work shaped in response to the architecture of CCA’s distinctive exhibition spaces. Combining performance and fabric pieces, his installation is rooted in a practice that stages a ‘blurring of reality and fiction through moments of extreme performativity’. Through intimate lyrical performances of songs, and spoken recitations of anecdotes, he transports audiences into a private world of heartbreak and loss, at once tragi-comic, moving and elevating. Adam Christensen is presented as part of Episodes, an ongoing series of solo presentations that cuts through the main programming at Goldsmiths CCA and provides a counterpoint to the larger-scale exhibitions. Spanning installations, screenings, discursive events and new commissions, the focus of this programme is to provide an experimental platform for emergent practices. The series commenced with Oisín Byrne’s GLUE, and continues in 2019 with presentations by Corey Hayman (20 July – 1 September 2019)and Roland Carline (16 Nov 2019 – 12 Jan 2020).
