For his first solo show in Glasgow, Holm is presenting works from his expanding series ‘About Common Ground’.
‘About Common Ground’ is an experiment in continuous photographic studies of states and movements in contemporary society. Particularly attentive to urban space as a centre for capital and political struggle, Holm tries to encompass what seems ungraspable about a world connected by advanced capitalism, while divided by national borders.
The first showing of this body of work was at The Royal Danish Embassy in London (March 2016) and, subsequently, as part of group shows at 16 Nicholson Street Glasgow and Fotografisk Center in Copenhagen later that year.
Winner of the Jill Todd Photographic Award (2016) and RSA Adam Bruce Thomson Award (2017), Holm has exhibited extensively across the UK and Denmark. This has included exhibitions at The Royal Scottish Academy in Edinburgh, Banja Rathnov Gallery in Copenhagen, and Nerve Centre in Derry-Londonderry. Most recently Holm has exhibited at Supernormal Art Space, Singapore and Soiz Galerie in Germany.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
