Cross Discipline & New Media Artist - Fine Art MA & BA(Hons)1st Class

 

 

Mike Glover is based in Sunderland, England UK. He creates conceptually based art films, sound, performance and installation art.

 

In his current practice, he explores a myriad of significant and conceptual themes within conspiracy theories, a subject matter that

offers more questions than answers; satiating his appetite for pleasant lies, half-truths, and reassuring falsehoods.

 

Mike also delivers art projects as a community/teaching artist and musician.

 

He is currently busy researching and has  commenced (2022 -March) a PhD (Fine Art).
