Biography

Glenn Boulter’s work draws upon sources such as his local Co-op supermarket, a group of ramblers, a singer in a workingmen’s club, village notice boards and the lives of minor historical figures in an overall attempt to extract significance from the most ordinary of situations. The resulting editions of handmade books such as 'Walks in Leicestershire', 'The Negative Album' and 'Census' have all taken very specific, geographical areas as starting points for investigating themes of locality and memory and how these affect our perceptions of a particular landscape. These works have been made directly available to the non gallery-going public, being catalogued in public libraries, secreted in park bandstands and sold cheaply in village halls, churches and tourist information centres in order to make direct contact with the environment they address.

Glenn has recently relocated to Cumbria and is based at the Canteen Media and Arts Centre on Barrow Island. During his current residency at Barrow Football Club, he will be working alongside frequent collaborator Francis O’ Donnell Smith. Their previous work together has included writing soundtracks for Leicester’s vanishing industrial architecture, devising scores for non-musicians and delivering educational workshops in sound art as well as recording and performing music as 'Aurelie'.
