Adam Moore is a transdisciplinary artist, dancer, and curator creating installations, performances, and site-based works. He examines the fabric and spirit of life at local and global scales, translating the ephemeral and precarious substance of the world at large into forms and encounters across media – from the post-industrial landscape, local ecologies and materials of the London Docklands and the River Thames to the Caribbean archipelagos of the lesser Antilles and beyond. In museums, galleries, and sites his works with dance, fine art, photography, film, design, and sound draw on the experiential, kin(a)esthetic, sensual and not-strictly-sensory… ambient vast and subtle movements shaping internal and exterior worlds. Born in London, creole diaspora growing up in a global community, his British, Caribbean and Central American heritage is reflected in his transdisciplinary practice facilitating situated, collaborative socially engaged forms inventing with people, places, and pluriformities.

In 2025 he was the inaugural V&A East Storehouse artist in residence presenting work curated with prints by Hannah Collins and Gerald Holtom and designs by Omega Workshops from the V&A East Storehouse collections. Collaborating with artist Lotte van Gelder (NL) they performed and curated AVALANCHE The home site at the iconic 1960s brutalist social housing Lesnes Estate in Abbey Wood, London. His prints developed with the support of the V&A East Storehouse residency were exhibited at Somers Gallery, London, in the group show Las Palabras (2025). He opened the exhibition with newly commissioned performance After Lands, a choreography with site-drawing and sound made in collaboration with his mother, Yvonne. He curated Samples and Extended Plays at 125 Shaftesbury Avenue (Bow Arts Artist Takeover) (2025); Loose Ends (V&A East X Bow Arts Artist Fellowship) hosted by the University of East London’s department of Architecture and Visual Art (2023-24); co-designed and facilitated Camden Art Centre’s Transformative Futures Youth Collective programme for consecutive years, co-curating both annual takeovers across the galleries and garden (2021-23); co-facilitated the Destination Unknown 2023 (NL) artist’s residency with Lotte Van Gelder and Raviv Ganchrow; and curated Listening Space with Hypha Studios London (2022). In 2023 he was the inaugural V&A East X Bow Arts Artist Fellow and recipient of Arts Council England’s Developing Your Creative Practice award and the Jerwood New Work Fund. He has been creating commissioned public artworks in the UK since 2023, including Still life on Eastbourne Pier, commissioned by Devonshire Collective, Towner Gallery and Eastbourne Alive, celebrating the 2023 Turner Prize. A Master of Fine Art in Dance Creative Practice and a Leverhulme Performing Arts Scholar, he graduated from Laban and Independent Dance, Siobhan Davies Studios, London, in 2017. Previously Associate Lecturer at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama from 2022-23, he has been a lecturer at the University of East London teaching BA Fine Art, Photography, and Commercial Photography since 2023.

Living on an iconic 1960s brutalist estate near the post industrial landscape and ecologies of the river Thames, and overlooking the ancient monastic Lesnes Abbey ruins and Abbey Woods, he makes, curates, collaborates, and performs, examining the experiential and affective ecologies, materials, and histories of his home site in London.

I think that my practice overall tells the story of atemporal and experiential looping journeys from microscopic inner worlds – emotions, and granular, subjective feeling states – out, into the seemingly-objective solid geometries – architectures, infrastructures… systems and materials of the universe – observing nuance and complexities – how these are all in flux, semi-permeable and dissolving… Into oceans. Across lands and seas. Between places, people, organic – and inorganic – living things. Within oneself. And beyond. I’m deeply curious about all these movements, dances taking place in relation, moving constellations at vast and subtle scales. I’m interested in how these shape and define life forms, places, and people. I observe to find ways to  participate in these choreographies. Then, gently, with a changed perception and orientation to life itself, initiate movements and new recompositions. I think this is the gesture I’m pursuing with my work.

A Poem About My Work.

If my work were a concrete poem it could depict the movement of thoughts, ideas, materials, processes, energy, and forms. If it were an unstable chemical compound it could be made from light, space, my body and senses, places, visions, memories, movement, and beauty. If it were a map it could trace the awesome-everyday through Minimalism, Post-Minimalism, Land Art, Arte Povera, ready-mades, craft, ritual, and technology. If it were a song it could be a glittery pop love song, with a sexy, silky syncopated trap bridge that makes you dance and an interpolated anthemic chorus easy to sing. If it were a language it could be direct, magic, anxious, ancient, new; seemingly lawless, charming, without manners, romantic. It could balance all of this in dynamic alignment were it a mathematical equation which in some ways my work can be.
