JIM LAMBIE WORKS AT MFA, BOSTON

AVV 8-31 #711025

BOSTON, MASS. — The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, will present “RSVP: Jim Lambie,” on view November–May.

Scottish artist Jim Lambie (b 1964) has been invited to participate in “RSVP: MFA,” a site-specific installation series at the museum.

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 museum is at 465 Huntington Avenue. For information, www.mfa.org or 617-267-9300.
