Jim Lambie’s exhibition at the Fruitmarket, part of Generation, includes classic work Zobop (the floor) and Shaved Ice (the mirror ladders).  I think I recognised both Rainbow Rising and Deep Purple in Rock in Stakka (the albums gaffer taped together with the images taped out leaving only the background colours visible).  By chance I saw Zobop in Transmission in 1999.  It’s still a great piece of work, drawing attention to the smallest details in the space in which it’s installed.  It’s definitely sculpture, but it could be painting too.
