The office of a coffee maker, and then the beach
Two Person exhibition at 100 Elderslie Street, Glasgow, 2018
Video Stills from ‘Escape with the one you love’ 5:49 minutes, looped (2018)
Collaborative project with `Polly Pentreath
Installation - video projection, desk, court shoes, coffee cup, carpet, love letters, a one way phonecall, water lamp, text
we will return to this paradise
to live in the sunrise,
as a lucky witness
'The office of a coffee maker, and then the beach' is a collaborative project by Polly Pentreath and Georgia Holman. Created as an exploration of the intersections of their practise, the work explores themes of corporate structures, dreams of paradise, and surpassing daily limitations. In the video ‘Escape with the one you love’ two women sprint across a beach soundtracked to passive 'yeahs'. Yearning for a paradise but met with a hold line, the Scottish rain continues to drizzle.
