The body as archive with Siobhan Davies, Siobhan Davies Studios, London.
Adam Moore is a transdisciplinary artist creating installations, performance, and site-based works examining the fabric and spirit of life at local and global scales, translating the ephemeral, precarious substance of the world at large – from the London Docklands, to the Caribbean and beyond – into forms and encounters across media. An economy of dance, experimental design, and fine and visual art – including sculpture, drawing and painting, film, photography, print, sound, and text – his projects draw on and reflect the kinaesthetic, bringing awareness to the positions, orientations, and 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 practice using situated, collaborative socially engaged forms: he considers how spaces are felt, and participates in the choreographies of constructed and natural environments 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. 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, London, 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. 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’m an artist living and working in London making installations, performances and site based work. I teach and convene undergraduate Fine Art programmes at universities and conservatoires in the UK, facilitate artist development and gallery education programmes in the UK and internationally, work with prominent archives and collections, create public art, curate, and write about art and culture.

My work examines the substance of the world at large, the fabric and spirit of life at local and global scales. Parallel to my somatic, embodied dance practice my installations, performances, and site situated work draws on and reflects the experiential and kinaesthetic, how I sense my position, orientation, and movement in the world.
In galleries, museums, and sites I create installations and performances with dance and experimental design, curated with discrete fine and visual artworks including sculpture, drawing and painting, film, photography, sound, and text.
With an attitude of discovery I use situated practices and collaborative socially engaged forms creating public art and interventions that consider how spaces are felt, 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 light, space, my body and senses, places, visions, memories, movement, and beauty. If it were a map it could trace Minimalism, Post-Minimalism, Land Art, Arte Povera, ready-mades, craft, and technology. If it were a documentary it could tell the story of 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 people and ecologies, within oneself and beyond. 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.
