Scottish artist Jim Lambie (born in 1964) has been invited to participate in RSVP: Museum Of Fine Arts, Boston, a site-specific installation series at the Museum.
Jim Lambie takes the ephemera of modern life and transforms it into vibrant sculptural installations. Working with items found in and around the streets near his studio, as well as those sourced in second-hand and hardware stores, he selects materials that are familiar and have a strong personal, yet universal resonance.
Lambie breathes new life into turntables and speakers, clothing and accessories, doors and mirrors to form sculptures and site-specific installations that champion sensory pleasure over intellectual response. His works are often devised in relation to a particular space, where he uses intuition and improvisation to shape his decisions. This enables him to work in tune with the qualities of his materials and the parameters of the existing architecture.
The picture shows 'Danceteria V, 2006, Jim Lambie, Courtesy of the artist, Sadie Coles HQ, London'. The exhibition will be on view from November 2007 to May 2008. -- www.mfa.org
