The floor at the TAC entrance is covered in vivid lines arranged in geometric patterns. At first glance this interior is the archetypal plain white cube. Following the existing architectural edge and unique features of the room, Lambie applies continuous lines of alternating color and width of vinyl tape to the floor, creating a rippling “beat” as he gradually works his way into the center. Jim Lambie’s Zobop transforms the character and mood of the space with a rhythmic musically.

Jim LAMBIE
Born 1964, and currently based, in Glasgow, Scotland. Received his BA from Glasgow School of Art. Sourcing his material directly from the modern world, Lambie references popular culture, often drawing his subject matter from music and iconic figures. He makes use of everyday objects and materials, both as reference points and as original objects, transforming them into new sculptural forms, re-energizing and giving them an alternative function. He was shortlisted for the Turner Prize 2005 (UK) and participated in “The TURNER” at the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts (2019).
