Holcroft’s installation will position the viewer in a continual state of Now.

Perpetuating a tangibly defined time as well as a physically delineated space, he will present a board with the painted text THURSDAYSIXTEENTHOFMARCHTWOTHOUSANDSIXT
OSATURDAYFIRSTOFAPRILTWOTHOUSANDANDSIX before a slide projector with an empty carousel mechanically rotating to intermittently illuminate the words. The empty carousel suggests absence, a blankness of obliterated or mislaid past, leaving only a present and a future prescribed and finally curtailed by the finality of the text. Time as an intangible framework will become stratified through the predefined elements of a room.

Holcroft is an English artist living and working in Glasgow.

Exhibiting at an international level since graduating from the Environmental Art Department at The Glasgow School of Art in 2004, Holcroft has previously undertaken an exchange at the VCA (Victoria College of Art) Melbourne, and a ‘residency with exhibition’ at the Moores Building Contemporary Art Gallery in Fremantle, Western Australia.
His work was represented at the 2004 Glasgow Art Fair and the 2004 Waygood International Art Fayre, while his book A&B (what you doin’) published by Trajectory Publications, was launched in the CCA (Centre for Contemporary Art) Glasgow in 2005.

Holcroft has a forthcoming project in Sideshow, Nottingham commissioned by [insertspace] Birmingham.
