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.
