Jonathan Kneebone is a founder of The Glue Society - an independent creative collective working globally - and now in its 26th year.
Jonathan's work - and that of The Glue Society - deliberately blurs the line between art and commerce. Their practice encompasses everything from the direction of experiential projects, entertainment and commercial films, to the creation of public installations, exhibitions and events.
Creativity Magazine defined The Glue Society as ‘the experts at things which haven’t been done before’ - and a number of their projects have been singled out for praise by the likes of Time magazine, The New York Times, Washington Post, CNN & The Guardian.
The Glue Society counts over 15 D&AD Yellow/Graphite Pencils - for both concept and craft disciplines - as well as 8 Cannes Grands Prix/Titanium Awards, with over 20 different projects achieving Gold Lion status.
The Glue Society have exhibited at Miami Art Basel, Pulse New York, London Design Festival, Hecho en Casa Chile – as well as numerous shows across the Americas, Europe and Asia.
Their work was showcased at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris, and the team are also the artists/project directors of the groundbreaking environmental artwork "Earth's Black Box" currently being installed in Tasmania, Australia (earthsblackbox.com).
The Glue Society - under Jonathan's leadership - has been instrumental in creating positive change within the industry, originating and supporting the D&AD initiatives - Rare, Shift Sydney and Brief to Broadcast - promoting diversity, inclusion and further education.
Jonathan is a member of the D&AD Board of Trustees, sits on the D&AD Global Advisory Board and Australian AWARD Committee and is a regular industry speaker and opinion-piece writer.
For experiential work, installation projects and commercial film direction, The Glue Society is represented by Biscuit in the UK & USA, La Pac in France, and Revolver in Australia/NZ.
