Adam Martin

Born in Iowa, USA, and based in New York, he works across a range of disciplines including multimedia installation, photography, computer games and narrative design. His work explores the intersection of personal history and systems of power, focusing on the conflicted psychology of young, angry men within structures of economy, desire and institutional domination.
Martin's projects, which often use visual novel-like formats, blur the boundaries between indie game culture and contemporary art, subverting stereotypes of agency, choice, and narrative authorship. Though rooted in the American art world, his themes of traded intimacy and institutional opacity resonate with the global culture industry as a whole.
Major exhibitions include Galerie Buchholz (Cologne), Etablissement d'en face (Brussels), Gandt and LOMEX (New York), etc.
