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).
