To mark the close of our exhibition How Chicago!, and in response to popular demand, we will once more screen the documentary, Hairy Who & The Chicago Imagists; the first film to tell the wild, woolly, utterly irreverent story of the Chicago Imagists.

DJ's, performances, and new costumes from artist Adam Christensen and his collaborators.

Announcing upcoming exhibitions at CCA.
Issy Wood's solo exhibition All The Rage, and Jef Cornelis: Video Works 1960s-80s. Opening 29 Jun 2019.

We are now screening Tommy Palazzolo's The Tattooed Lady of Riverview Park (1967) as part of the How Chicago! film programme. A visceral glimpse of Chicago and its subcultures, on view until 27 May.

Now Open! Goldsmiths CCA presents the most significant UK exhibition in 40 years of work by the Chicago Imagists.

Artist Adam Christensen will create a new work shaped in response to the architecture of CCA's distinctive exhibition spaces. Combining performance and fabric pieces, his installation is rooted in a practice that stages a ‘blurring of reality and fiction through moments of extreme performativity’. Through intimate lyrical performances of songs, and spoken recitations of anecdotes, he transports audiences into a private world of heartbreak and loss, at once tragi-comic, moving and elevating.
