This exhibition of recent work by Jamie Kane centres around a video that through a consideration of materiality, forms an assemblage of people and things, culminating in an architectural proposal.
The film takes Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) as a starting point. It is a substance that makes up chalk, used as a bone supplement and in its crystalline form doubly refracts images seen through it. Calcium Storeys will also feature IMAG’s Bernera Goddess – a whale bone with crudely carved eyes and mouth which was reputedly found in a burial mound on the Outer Hebrides.
Jamie has collaborated with architect and illustrator Lauren Li Porter as well as musical improvisers Adam Campbell, Tristan Clutterbuck, Tina Krekels, and Grant Smith (Butter/Fua) to create this film.
Jamie grew up in Inverness-shire, he graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 2013 and currently lives and works in Glasgow.
10 February – 24 March: Small Art Gallery
