The first Artist Talk presented alongside Andrew Holmes' exhibition at St John's, 'Promised Land', is concerned with a machine society in which the same building occurs in a hundred different places, and the same machine appears in a thousand. The chrome-encrusted diners, spick’n’span stores, offices, and gas stations give only an occasional glimpse or reflection of a human being or a fleeting vehicle. The bars are closed, the autos and trucks driverless. The sky is always cloudless, and the sunlight even. The all-pervading repose is slightly sinister, and expectant.
