Jeremy Gluck: Art and Poetry

Unterzone is a work of contemporary art writing that occupies the fertile borderlands between cultural critique, experimental literature and conceptual practice. It forms the second volume in an evolving trilogy, following ARTV01D and preceding the forthcoming No-production, together tracing an increasingly radical investigation into perception, mediation, authorship and reality.

Neither conventional art theory nor straightforward memoir, Unterzone operates as a cultural transmission from the edge of perception. Gluck explores the unstable territory between image, language, memory and technology, mapping a landscape shaped by underground culture, artistic resistance and the search for meaning within an increasingly mediated world.

Written with the sensibility of an artist working across disciplines, the book will appeal to readers interested in contemporary visual culture, experimental writing, conceptual art, media archaeology and the creative possibilities that emerge beyond established categories. Its concerns resonate with current debates surrounding authenticity, production, identity and the shifting nature of reality in the twenty-first century.

For artists, curators, writers and cultural thinkers, Unterzone offers a rich field of ideas rather than fixed conclusions. It rewards close reading while remaining open to multiple interpretations, encouraging readers to navigate its conceptual terrain in their own way. The result is a work that sits comfortably alongside artist books, avant-garde cultural criticism and independent publishing.

Provocative, immersive and intellectually adventurous, Unterzone is both a standalone work and a key chapter within Gluck's wider conceptual project. As the central volume linking ARTV01D and the anticipated No-production, it provides a compelling entry point into a unique artistic and philosophical universe.

ARTV01D is a contemporary art book showcasing Jeremy Gluck's experimental visual practice, blending digital abstraction, glitch aesthetics, conceptual art, and innovative image‑making. Featuring high‑quality artwork, diagrams, and process‑driven studies, this volume is ideal for readers interested in modern digital art, conceptual art theory, visual culture, and cutting‑edge creative techniques.

Designed for artists, students, collectors, and anyone exploring new directions in experimental art, ARTV01D highlights themes of transformation, disruption, and the breakdown of visual systems. Its combination of bold imagery and conceptual depth makes it a valuable addition to libraries focused on digital art, contemporary aesthetics, and creative research.

 "This loneliness is so beautiful. It is empty, strong, senseless and unforgiving. I don't know any more who or what I am as I melt into nothing, space, absent feelings, absent love. I inhabit an empire of radical distraction, there is nobody else here, but I am not lonely, nor alone, as legion immaterial presences lie silent on the floor." Poems and images by Jeremy Gluck 

 It's late twentieth-century USA, and two marketing moguls have the commercial life of the nation by the throat: Mr Rock of Necrotrivia, a psychotic blue-collar fascist, and SKULL supremo Sandy Silence, born-again Christian and Ivy League smoothie. Between them they are greedily exploiting Mr and Mrs America's insatiable appetite for junk. Meanwhile an extra-terrestrial intelligence operative, lately a convict, has materialised in up-state New York. His knowledge of the ways of men comes entirely from a Dictionary of American Slang and TV transmissions which take ten years to reach his home planet. None of this has prepared him for the hotwire effect of nicotine, fast food and soda pop on his alien metabolism, and soon he is wanted for a series of mindless shootings,
