      Artist Statement

      Jeremy Gluck

      Expatriate Canadian, for two decades Wales-based, in 2020, at the age of 58, I graduated M. Arts (Hons) from Swansea Coilege of Art.

      I work as a neurodiverse postdigital fine artist in NFT, digital art, film, photography, sound and video art, installation, and performance, the latter as performance art has been performed in Swansea and Cardiff. In July 2019 I presented my paper (well-received by former Tate archivist Andrew Wilson) on Gustav Metzger at the UWTSD Nexus Learning and Teaching Conference in Swansea, Wales. I have exhibited offline in London, Sydney, Bath, Anglesey, and Swansea, been featured in multiple online exhibitions and publications, and have been a member of Non-Place Collective based at Fringe Arts Bath and was a co-founder of Swansea-based Axe Head Collective whose group exhibitions at Volcano Theatre, Swansea proved very popular. A film co-created by me is now part of the BFI archive; films I have made have been screened widely, both in the UK and in Europe. My work has been collected by private collectors in Finland, Spain, and the UK. My work is represented in Wales by Tides Fine Art Gallery, Mumbles. I have great experience as a performer by virtue of my having been a singer for many years with a number of groups, primarily The Barracudas, with whom I toured widely, and recorded many albums. My solo recorded work, online and offline, continues to be prolific and well-received.
