Work profile

In 2006 formed Day + Gluckman Curatorial partnership with Eliza Gluckman. Their first exhibitions, Drawn Apart East and Drawn Apart West were held during 2007 and since December 2007 Day + Gluckman have curated four/five exhibitions per year for Collyer Bristow Gallery, London.

To date we have shown over 60 artists since starting at Collyer Bristow Gallery, working mainly with artists from the UK and usually from London; from recent graduates to respected mid-career artists. Works are for sale but primarily we offer a platform for artists to show work in a central London venue in a curated exhibition and we work to promote them and their work to our network and to Collyer Bristow's clients. Our first exhibition, Curious Nature was picked up by the Newlyn Art Gallery in Cornwall and toured to the gallery in May 2007 and Contemporary Chinoiserie (September 2008) is currently being developed in to a larger project including a symposium at the Victoria and Albert Museum in 2010.
