Jim Lambie Installation

So, this summer I started volunteering at the Bass Museum of Art on Miami Beach, it's a small museum but a really beautiful one with a great atmosphere. The upcoming exhibit is titled "Vanishing Points" and opens August 5th, its going to be awesome so check it out and tell everyone you've ever met to go see it!

There is a huge ramp at the museum that as part of the upcoming exhibit has been covered in colored vinyl tape as part of a Jim Lambie installation titled "Zobop," this is Jim's signature piece that has been in galleries and museums across the globe. Jim lives in Scotland, so his assistant Benny (really awesome and interesting guy) came and led the installation process with the help of several student volunteers (including myself). The installation took about a week to complete and here are pictures that I took each day to show the progress of the piece.

The ramp has two landings, 3 ramps, and a set of stairs so unfortunately it is impossible to get a photo of the entire thing but here is a selection.
