Adam Geluda Gildar (b.1984, Portland, OR) is an artist and art enabler living in Denver, Colorado who is interested in experiments in art and living. Their practice involves both hermetic craft and social practice as gateways to explore liberatory emotional and psychological states. Their work and play which spans forms, from muted landscape paintings and collage installations to repetitive performance and video is not united by a particular form or concept. Rather, like the person, their output follow an evolving understanding that fragmentation is as essential as the need to make meaning.

 

Geluda Gildar’s recent exhibitions have included participation in the group exhibition hellhole rat race at Black Book Gallery (2024), a solo exhibition at Middle State Coffee (2024), and an endurance performance exhibition Time After Time with their collective project Adam GG and the Right on Time at Lane Meyer Projects (2024/25). A Forthcoming exhibition will be opening at Colorado State University's Dingy Rig gallery (Jan 2025).
