Adam Geluda Gildar (b.1984, Portland, OR) is an artist and curator interested in cathartic somatic states reached through repetition of form, time distortion and fragmentation. Their work involves both a hermetic studio practice and socially engaged and collective projects that focus on different points along the emotional and psychological spectrum from contemplative grief to absurdity and joy. Working across media they create installations that include painting, collage, sculpture both built and found, as well as audio, visual elements and performance. A prevailing outlook in their work is that the body is the gateway to the mind and aims to create visceral encounters that unfold into intellectual inquiry.

Geluda Gildar’s recent exhibitions have included the solo exhibition Timequake: Between the River and the Sea at Colorado State University’s K102a gallery (Ft. Collins, CO) as well as a collective endurance performance series and exhibition Time After Time with their collective project Adam GG and the Right on Time at Lane Meyer Projects (2024/25) (Denver, CO). Group exhibitions have included hellhole rat race at Black Book Gallery (2024), and participation in shows at 639mph (Boulder, CO) and HomeSafe Projects (Denver, CO).
