Bio
Adam Moore is a transdisciplinary artist creating installations, performances, and site-based works with dance, fine and visual art, and design. He examines the fabric and spirit of life within and beyond local and global scales, translating the experiential, ephemeral and precarious substance of the world at large into forms and encounters across media. An economy of dance, fine art, photography, and design with visual art practices using film, sound, and text his projects explore the vast and subtle movements and relations shaping internal and exterior worlds. Born and growing up in London, creole diaspora in a global community, his British, Caribbean and Central American heritage is reflected in his practice using situated, collaborative socially engaged forms inventing with people, places, and pluriformities. 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 in 2023. In 2025 he was the inaugural V&A East Storehouse artist-in-residence exhibiting prints he developed there in the group exhibition Las Palabras at Somers Gallery, opening the show with newly commissioned performance, After Lands. A Master of Fine Art in Dance Creative Practice and Leverhulme Performing Arts Scholar he graduated from Laban and Independent Dance, Siobhan Davies Studios, London, in 2017.
Selected exhibitions, curatorial, and performance projects include Las Palabras, Somers Gallery, London (2025); Look What I Found, V&A East Storehouse, London (2025); Samples and Extended Plays: Recomposing the Archive, Bow Arts 125 Shaftesbury Avenue, London (2025); Farther.

Selected residencies and artist development programs include the inaugural V&A East Storehouse micro-residency (2025), Bow Arts 125 Shaftesbury Avenue (2025), UNIDEE residency programs – Foundazione Pistolleto (2024), Art School Plus (2023), Jerwood UNITe, g39, Cardiff (2022), Hypha Studios, London (2022), and CONSTELLATIONS with UP Projects and Flat Time House (2020-21). Selected awards and fellowships include the inaugural V&A East X Bow Arts Artist Fellowship (2023-24), Arts Council England’s Developing Your Creative Practice (2023), the Jerwood New Work Fund (2023), and a-n TIME SPACE MONEY bursary (2022). His public artwork Still life was commissioned by Devonshire Collective, Towner Gallery, and Eastbourne Alive celebrating the Turner Prize 2023, and Glow Home (2024) (permanent) commissioned by Art School Plus and Culture Within Newham.
He teaches and convenes undergraduate Fine Art programmes at universities and conservatoires in the UK, facilitates artist development and gallery education programmes in the UK and internationally, works with prominent archives and collections, creates public artworks, and writes about art and culture. 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.

Artist Statement
My work examines the substance of the world at large, the fabric and spirit of life at local and global scales and beyond, and how this touches and moves people, places, attention, and ideas, and how this is embodied through my body and in the artworks that I make. Expanding from my training in somatic and embodied contemporary dance techniques, choreography, and creating across performance disciplines my technical skills making fine art, photography, and design and with visual art practices making film, sound, and text have evolved since 2019. In galleries and museums I create performance installations with dance curated with discrete experimental fine and visual artworks. With an attitude of discovery I use situated practices and collaborative socially engaged forms creating public art and interventions examining and revealing the experiential and affective, interrelated and reciprocal dimensions shaping people and place.
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 my body and senses, places, visions, memories, Minimalism, Post-Minimilism, Arte Povera, ready-mades, craft/technology, and movement. If it were a documentary it could be about an atemporal and experiential looping journey from microscopic inner worlds, emotions, and granular subjective feeling states out into the objective solid geometries, architectures, infrastructures, and materials of the universe dissolving into oceans, across lands and seas, between other people and ecologies, within oneself and beyond. If it were a song it could be a glittery pop love song, with a sexy, silly 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.
