ADAM NICKEL
(he/him)

 Adam Nickel is a Canadian  interdisciplinary artist  and student  currently based in Montréal, QC attending  UFV’s School of Creative Arts exploring  elements of  storytelling, cosmology,  religion, and personal  recollections  expressed through dark, poetic  narrative.


 Preferred mediums consist mainly of found  object  sculpture installation, often  either paired with or  exclusively  experimental audio recordings. Drawing  from both real life experience and  fictional  literature, his work  recontextualizes themes of  lovecraftian  horror and ritualistic iconography. His  work is meant to deliver an immersive,  personalized  mythology relative to a  unique style of world-  building.


 He has since worked on independent  sculptures working  alongside artists like  Xafya, Sam Street and Ty  Martens and has  had work shown in sculpture  installations  in group shows in Vancouver, BC,  Zurich, SZ and Abbotsford, BC.


 Since founding experimental collective and  label  Passkey with Owen Robinson, he’s  worked on stage  design for a collaborative  event with Sarahsson  hosted by One Winged  Angel. Other stage design  installation  includes 2 events hosted by Passkey, one  for the release of nsc’s album ‘Peace  Symbol’ and one  for a show performed at  VIVO Media Arts Centre.


 He has recordings available on formforum’s  Deaccession Forms compilation. Other  musical  performances include DJ sets for  Vancouver’s CiTR  101.9, as well as co- hosting a radio show for Passkey  appearing monthly on Hong Kong Community Radio. In  addition to these appearances, he’s performed live  music at events with artists such as Stefan Maier,  Swan Meat, x/o, Estoc, Umru, Endgame, and a duo act  with Swiss artist Xafya known as Sintering for Endless  Bazaar.
