adam walker is an artist and writer. Their practice is research-led, critically and reflexively considering structures of inequality, not least their own complicit position amidst these. Text sits at the centre of their practice, including its extensions into digital terrains as code and data. Interruption and impropriety are sought: subtexts and counter-texts which might interrupt dominant textual flows.
Their work has been exhibited, performed, published and commissioned by institutions including the ICA, Tate, Tyneside Cinema, Coventry Biennial, Serpentine Gallery, Ma Bibliotheque and NEoN Digital Arts Festival within the UK; Skelf and Hoax online; Yermilov Centre, Izolyatsia and the House of Cinema in Ukraine; and Adana Archaeological Museum in Turkey.
Their book 'Art, Labour, Text and Radical Care' was published in 2023 by Routledge.
They are a Lecturer in Fine Art at Manchester School of Art, Manchester Metropolitan University.
