He works at London Miles Gallery www.londonmiles.com and also as an assistant to the artist Paul Johnson

Chocholko is interested in the application of futile systems and in the performative act of making. In recent site-specific works he has used sets of instructions and rules to determine and plot construction lines that intersect and partly cover the architectural space. The process of developing work is akin to problem solving, here the basic physical properties of materials, such as their length, thickness and tensile strength are carefully measured in relation to the specific space and utilized in a calculated way to generate drawn networks. Both the method and the work are playful and surprising. Chocholko will make a new piece of work for ex, engaging with a site in the Vernon Street building.
