Anna Ádám is an interdisciplinary visual artist and performance maker whose work blurs the boundaries between image, object, and choreography with emphasis on the body as the central form of expression. She graduated at ENSAPC Art School in France in 2016, and also studied styling (2010) and mask/makeup (2018). In 2013 she was selected to the 59th Salon de Montrouge, which led her to several solo exhibitions (Budapest, Paris) and residencies (Yerevan and Berlin). In 2014 she co-founded the company Gray Box at the intersection of contemporary dance, visual arts, and fashion. In 2019 she left the Art direction position of the company, so as to focus only on creation and choreography.
In the frame of her personal practice, combining photography, drawing, installation, clothing, fashion-performances, One-on-One performance, Seances, she conceptualizes and uses the exhibition space as a theatre, the catwalk as a stage, and the theater as an exhibition space. Her multidisciplinary and always site-specific projects echo the broader socio-political context from a feminist and queer perspective, and challenge the body as a political-affective geography, a historically shaped archive, a both public and private space, where power is constantly contested and negotiated. Anna Ádám also worked as a performance artist in commissioned works during her studies (Palais de Tokyo, Musée Georges Pompidou...), now she presents her projects in both exhibition spaces and theaters (Ludwig Museum, Museum of Modern Art Yerevan, National Museum of History Paris, Theater MU Budapest, Institut Français…), and holds seminars and workshops across Europe (Sweden, Hungary, Serbia, France, Armenia...).
