Jim Lambie : NORTHERN SOUL

3 Jul-1 Sep 2020

Overview

In his latest exhibition at Sadie Coles HQ, NORTHERN SOUL, Jim Lambie presents a body of work – spanning sculpture, video and installation – that expands his distinctive visual language into various new registers and forms. The exhibition centres on a group of wall sculptures consisting of sliced sections of door, arranged vertically in minimalist formations and finished in horizontal bands of dazzling colour. In form and material, these works glance back to a long line of door sculptures by Lambie over the past twenty years, including his 2003 installation Paradise Garage for the Scottish Pavilion at the Venice Biennale, which featured gloss-painted doors cut up and reconfigured as angular sculptures.
