Goldsmiths CCA is proud to host the premier of Creativity at Home, a new work by Roland Carline made specifically for the CCA lockdown programme and as part of his year residency with the CCA.  

‘Roland and Carol are trying to be creative at home. Roland is worried about Potatoe because he wants to set himself on fire.  While he is making his get fit videos, Kassandra helps Roland to understand Potatoe better.  Special guests include Pangolin and Bat and Boris Johnson from the Conservative party. ‘ 

Carline has been working in social work and applied arts in community settings since 1998. His works often feature signature props, costumes and ‘loose parts’, and move through the register of humour and absurdity to celebrate collusion, and forge an embodied mode of spectatorship that sits with ambiguity and discomfort. For Carline the performers are at the heart of the process, so that the work itself can fall apart and reconstitute in new and unforeseen ways. Carline’s approach when working with others, is to retreat into the work, allowing collaborators to take the lead – disrupting prevailing ideas of hierarchy within the artists’ practice.
