Adam Chodzko: Proxigean Tide:
 

Adam Chodzko is one of Britain's most respected contemporary artists, since 1991 he has been making works that consistently challenge our preconceptions of the possibilities and place of artistic practice, and the very nature and mutability of the world around us. 

 

Accompanying the survey exhibition at Tate St Ives, which brings together works spanning the last 17 years including videos, sculpture, photography, posters, sound works, drawings, slide projections and photographs, the book has been beautifully designed by Claudia Schenk and Silke Klinnert. Three new essays cover various aspects of Chodzko's practice and present a number of original readings and references in relation to his work.

 

Andrew Wilson explores ideas of ritual and sacrifice, both spiritual and secular, in a text that ranges from Chodzko's earliest exhibited works through to his most recent. Lisa Le Feuvre offers a close and perceptive reading of the social and performative interactions evoked and enacted across a number of Chodzko's works, in particular in relation to his various and varied posters. Martin Herbert focuses on Chodzko's recent video and slide works, opening up a territory that encompasses British science fiction writing and 20th-century European cinema. Also included is a recent conversation with the artist, a dialogue that touches on the exhibition at Tate St Ives and the new works produced for the show.
