Adam Chodzko, 2016.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Acclaimed award-wining contemporary visual artist\u00a0and School of Music and Fine Art Lecturer, Adam Chodzko<\/em>, is one of the exhibiting artists in Points of Departure<\/em><\/strong> (part of Estuary 2016) with a new commission as part of an ongoing project which will result in a video and sculpture installation in Tilbury Cruise Terminal.\u00a0 Estuary is a biennial arts festival celebrating the Thames Estuary from 17th September – 2nd October 2016. The artworks presented reflect themes of arrival, departure, migration, trade, connection and nationhood via the estuary out to the wider world.<\/p>\n

His work Ghost<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>is described thus:\u00a0A kayak; a sculpture as vessel, coffin, bed, costume and camera rig. It is designed to ferry people to the \u2018island of the dead\u2019, with a rower at the back, and the passenger lying down low and flat in the front, like a body in a coffin with their head slightly raised, travelling along the interface between water and sky. A camera, mounted on Ghost\u2019s <\/em>deck, records each unique voyage, the passengers\u2019 point of view, from across its bows.<\/p>\n

The video archives from multiple journeys along four previous Ghost <\/em>passages (The rivers Swale, Tamar, Tyne and Thames) here joins new video footage made this summer from the Essex Ghost voyages made by a group of estuarine insomniacs, to be shown\u00a0alongside Ghost itself, held suspended in the Tilbury Cruise Terminal.\u00a0Read the interview with Adam here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Chodzko\u2019s art explores the interactions and possibilities of human behaviour. Exhibiting internationally since 1991, he works across media, from video installation to subtle interventions, with a practice that is situated both within the gallery and the wider public realm. http:\/\/www.adamchodzko.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Points of Departure<\/em> runs from 17 \u2013 30 September \u2013 11am \u2013 4pm daily (closed Sat 24 September) at the following venues:<\/p>\n

Tilbury Cruise Terminal, Ferry Road, Tilbury RM18 7NG
