Work
Jim Lambie created in the late 1990s, his first Zobop ground installations with multi-colored vinyl tapes: the running in the geometric lines color mass attacks vibrantly into the room, which transmit vibrations to pulsating to the viewer. Lambie art relate to the atmosphere of trendy, glittering clubs, the places where music is created directly on the pulse of time at best. The Zobop installations call the 70s Glam Rock in the showrooms, they visualize the beat of the music and are also psychedelic dance floors where you can indulge in the intoxication of music.
In his work, Jim Lambie mainly refers to the universe of pop music: discos, clubs, nightlife, lyrics, legendary bands, Fankult or the observation of the aesthetic forms of music. The artist often uses everyday objects transformer for his works, so that, everyday objects enthobenen, now sculptural create an entirely new perception.
Lambie handling of materials is unorthodox and initially somewhat related to the traditional artistic materials. He works with found objects from flea markets or household items such as T -shirts, vases, belts, posters, chairs, mirrors and doors. Also industrial materials such as concrete, MDF and metal plates, industrial paints or spray paint found its way into his work. In his exhibitions he wanted to create a space similar to the concept of the Gesamtkunstwerk.
