ADAM LEWIS JACOB is an artist and filmmaker based in Glasgow. Working across sculpture, moving image, and publication, his work is guided by the people he meets and the relationships that form. Attracted to overlooked figures, outsiders, and subcultures, he is interested in processes of transformation, circulation, and repair. He treats exhibitions as active environments in which artworks, display systems, publications, research materials and the work of others exist in dialogue, allowing distinctions between object and support, finished work and experiment, authorship and collaboration to remain deliberately unstable.

He has presented solo exhibitions and screenings at Tokyo Arts and Space, Tokyo (2025); Bagnoler, Paris (2023); Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop (2023); LUX, London (2022); Vivid Projects (2022); Peak, London (2020); CCA Glasgow (2019); and the Edinburgh Art Festival (2018). His work has been included in exhibitions and screenings at David Dale Gallery and Studios as part of Glasgow International (2026); Systema at Palais Carli, Marseille (2025); Glasgow Short Film Festival (2022); Berwick Film and Media Arts Festival (2021); Alchemy Film and Moving Image Festival (2021); Viborg Kunsthal, Denmark (2021); Ann Arbor Film Festival (2020); LUX, London (2018); Studio 55, South Korea (2017); the Duolun Museum of Contemporary Art, Shanghai (2017), and Kochi-Muziris Biennale, Kochi (2016). He was the recipient of the British Council’s Connections Through Culture Grant (2024), multiple Creative Scotland Open Project Fund awards, and the BBC/LUX Now & Next Commission (2019). He was selected for the Mountain School of Arts program in Los Angeles in 2011 and completed his MFA at the Glasgow School of Art in 2015, including an exchange at Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam. Jacob is a co-founder of the artist-run space Céline (2015–2025) and recently established G.G.'s, an artist-led project organising exhibitions, screenings and publications. Through G.G., he has curated exhibitions as part of Glasgow International and Systema, Marseille. He is currently completing Savage World, a new film commissioned by Doc Society/BFI about artist, musician and writer Edwin Pouncey, aka Savage Pencil, a key figure in the British underground whose work spans post-punk, comix, noise music and independent publishing.
