escape! by Elke Finkenauer, presented by El Refri, at Govanhill Baths riffs on a rich tradition of escapism through food, beverages and appliances. The work presents a deck-chair, under a palm tree, on a white sand beach, on a tropical island, at sunset (in a fridge, in an empty Victorian swimming pool, in the ice-cold Glasgow winter), offering a place of escape that can only be inhabited with the mind.
