As part of the forthcoming 2015 Canterbury Festival, award winning artist and senior lecturer in Fine Art at the School of Music and Fine Art, Adam Chodzko, who was recently shortlisted for the prestigious Jarman Award, will be in conversation with Dr. Andy Birtwistle, Director of The Centre for Practice-Based Research in the Arts at Canterbury Christ Church University on Thursday 15 October, 5.30 – 6.30pm, in the Sidney Cooper Gallery, St Peter’s Street, Canterbury.

Adam’s exhibition, Design for a Fold, commissioned by Arts Council England and Elephant Trust, will be at the gallery from 20 – 31 October 2015.
Adam Chodzko uses his art to explore the interactions and possibilities of human behaviour. His work investigates and invents the possibilities of collective imagination. Design for a Fold is a new installation created through Chodzko’s continued engagement with Kent and the people who form its communities. Proposing a new understanding of Kent, the viewer is invited to revisit these communities, creating new connections between shared spaces, collective mythology and imagination.
