About

Adam Nankervis is an artist and curator who has infused social, conceptual and experimental practice in his lived-in nomadic museum, museum MAN, and his ongoing project ‘another vacant space’. His immersion into the experimentation of social sculptural forms and aesthetic collisions are a trademark of his art. 

Nankervis was part of the Practice International Stockholm Assembly, a joint initiative of iniva, Casco (Utrecht), and Iaspis (Stockholm). 

In collaboration with David Medalla, Nankervis formed The Mondrian Fan Club, & is the International Coordinator of the London Biennale 2000–2018 which was founded as a free-form artist initiative. Since 1994 he has been the vice-president of David Medalla’s Mondrian Fan Club in New York.
