Artists were chosen by a selection panel comprised of Art360 artist Liliane Lijn and artists Thomson &amp; Craighead and Simon Callery, along with DACS CEO Gilane Tawadros.<\/p>\n<p>DACS Foundation promotes visual arts for the public benefit by making grants, providing education and training, organising exhibitions and carrying out vital research. Dedicated to the physical and intellectual preservation of the UK\u2019s cultural heritage, making artistic works and archives accessible to today\u2019s public and to future generations, the Foundation champions a new and encompassing perspective on the value of visual art and artists to society through public participation in education, exhibitions, publications and research opportunities. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dacsfoundation.org.uk\/\">dacsfoundation.org.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The total \u00a3200,000 award made to artists includes direct investment in each of the artists with additional investment in the production of film interviews, directed by artist and filmmaker David Bickerstaff.\u00a0 Over the course of three years, the action research project will work with 100 modern and contemporary artists offering each artist or estate up to \u00a36,000 investment in obtaining the best technical services and expert advice that is relevant to their circumstances and requirements to begin securing the material and ephemeral aspects of their legacy.<\/p>\n<p>Says Chodzko, <em>\u201cI am currently solely responsible for my own archive. I can&#8217;t delegate it to someone else because I need to be present for every aspect of its cataloguing in order to ensure the accuracy, relationships and significance of its parts through how they connect to the whole body of work.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Chodzko&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>Further links: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adamchodzko.com\">http:\/\/www.adamchodzko.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Adam Chodzko\u2019s Upcoming exhibitions and projects include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Until 30th July<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Reunion; Salo<\/strong><\/em><strong> (1998) included in:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.umprum.cz\/web\/en\/umprum\/5-uneasy-pieces-an-open-investigation-3484\">https:\/\/www.umprum.cz\/web\/en\/umprum\/5-uneasy-pieces-an-open-investigation-3484<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Knots<\/strong><\/em><strong> (2013) included in:\u00a0<\/strong>&#8211;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.both-sides-now.org\/\">www.both-sides-now.org<\/a>.\u00a0TEMPORARY OSMOSIS\u00a0\u2013 Audiovisual Media Festival, Taiwan and Korea \u2013 <strong>August 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Taiwan International Video Art Exhibition, Taipei \u2013 <strong>October 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Plus screenings\u00a0in China, Hong Kong and the UK.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>17 September \u2013 2 October 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Ghost<\/strong><\/em><strong> (2010 &#8211; ) included in\u00a0Estuary Festiva<\/strong>l as a new\u00a0commission:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.estuaryfestival.com\/artist\/detail\/adamchodzko.html\">http:\/\/www.estuaryfestival.com\/artist\/detail\/adamchodzko.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Deep Above<\/strong><\/em><strong> (2015) <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/invisibledust.com\/project\/adam-chodzko-deep-above\/\"><strong>http:\/\/invisibledust.com\/project\/adam-chodzko-deep-above\/<\/strong><\/a><strong>\u00a0to be exhibited at\u00a0<\/strong>Manchester Science Festival\u00a0(October)<\/p>\n<p><strong>October 2016: <\/strong>Channel 4\u00a0<em>Random Acts<\/em> <a href=\"http:\/\/randomacts.channel4.com\/\">http:\/\/randomacts.channel4.com\/<\/a>\u00a0commission of a short\u00a0video work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Acclaimed contemporary visual artist\u00a0and School of Music and Fine Art Lecturer, Adam Chodzko is one of a group of 26 artists and estates selected by DACS Foundation to participate in the Art360 project \u2013 a hugely ambitious public project to support the sustainability and dynamism of artists\u2019 profiles for future generations.
