NEW ACQUISITION INSTALLATION
Jim Lambie - Sound System 2015
Jim Lambie is a well-known contemporary Glaswegian artist who is best known for creating ephemeral site-specific floor works, usually in a psychedelic palette. Since 1999, he has used tape and vinyl to create his floor-works with the intention of transforming a space by allowing the existing architecture to direct and shape each work, providing a unique effect with each installation.
Sound system, is an ephemeral, site-specific work in 13 metallic tape colours. Arranged for maximum kaleidoscopic effect, it completely transforms the architecture of the space in which it is installed.
​
Following significant consultation with Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery and the artist, the floor installation took five staff and a team of 16 volunteers, five days to complete.
