George Adams - Season 2, Episode 8

George Adams curator, gallery director and collector has had a career in the visual arts in Sydney supporting and encouraging emerging artists. Together with his partner artist Ron Adams, George set up and ran MOP Gallery from 2003-2016, an ‘artist-run-initiative’ which gave emerging artists, curators and writers the opportunity to explore experimental ideas and new work. Its follow on, Galerie Pompom shifted George’s focus but not his passion for supporting artists. Though Galerie Pompom closed in late 2021, George’s contribution to supporting experimental art in Sydney is lasting. Galerie Pompom’s website is still live here, showcasing its exhibitions and project. The major MOP archive is published by FORMIST Editions and is available at here  Image credits: Portrait of George Adams & Ron Adams, Photo: Stephen Oxenbury for Art World Magazine for Issue 3, June - July 2008 Find more conversations about art on our Instagram @FineArtFiona.
