PROJECTS / EXHIBITIONS / PERFORMANCES

Below is a timeline which highlights a variety of Bodo’s artistic and creative projects.

Across cities and countries, George Bodocan has built up an impressive portfolio of projects implementing a consistent use of expressive rhythms and explorative expression; an increasingly recognisable trademark. Please enjoy the compiled photograph memories of these adventures.
