GOOD LIFE

  • Holly MacDonald

GOOD LIFE was a contemporary art installation that took place in Kibble Palace at Glasgow Botanic Gardens on the 30th & 31st July 2022. The installation was based on forming a positive relationship and sustainable connection between ourselves and the environment. The art work exhibited included sculpture, painting, film, interactive art and performance, by artists Emily Dunlop, Isaac Aldridge and Suzanne Anthony. With a solo performance by Emily Dunlop on Saturday 30th. We need greater respect for what our planet provides, and a lasting/memorable positive connection. GOOD LIFE exhibited artists that embody the subject of re-connecting to the environment around us through interaction, satire, poetic text, and playful forms. They created works acting as voices for the natural world, and comment on the ‘human - earth’ altering history and future. Through positive experiences, lasting connections are made. Kibble Palace, which exhibits the wondrous scale of plant life on earth, hosted GOOD LIFE and exhibited the precious relationship between us and the environment through the vessel of art.
