Jamie Fitzpatrick will create a new monumental figure for the space that draws its influence from the architectural authority of the central hall and the surrounding buildings. He will also exhibit wall-based work for the first time, again, drawing influence from the decorative sculptural motifs of the building and their use of mythological and classical narratives to reinforce and legitimise the authority of capitalist economic and social structures. Fitzpatrick's practice encompasses sculptural installations, performance, drawing & moving image, frequently structured around the narratives and visual rhetoric behind images of authority. Outer Spaces Bank Commissions are a bold programme of newly commissioned works by artists Sooun Kim, Greer Pester, and Jamie Fitzpatrick. Selected from the Outer Spaces network of studio holders, this is a unique opportunity for the artists to make new, ambitious work in response to one of our most historic spaces. Responding to the former Clydesdale banking hall at 30 St Vincent Place, Glasgow, these works explore the building’s symbolic relationship to power, stability, and prosperity—qualities embedded in the fabric of this iconic Victorian structure. At the same time, the artists engage with the building’s current, transitory state, where past and present converge. Having secured a temporary lease for 30-31 St Vincent Place in late 2024, artists from the Outer Spaces network were invited to submit proposals for the programme. The commissions offer an exceptional opportunity for the selected artists to present new works at a pivotal moment in their careers. While other parts of the building house a dynamic community of artists and creatives, the opulent banking hall serves as the ideal setting for these commissions—each one adding a layer of dialogue to the space’s ongoing evolution. As a key landmark of Victorian architecture, the banking hall reflects the social and economic aspirations of its era. With its grand design and historical significance, it stands as a testament to the ambitions of its time. Now, as the space undergoes a new chapter and our artists have moved in to occupy the building, the hall plays host to a new kind of transformation: a programme of visual art commissions that respond directly to the building’s complex legacy. The works will be revealed to the public through a series of pop-up events throughout the spring of 2025, offering a dynamic exploration of the site’s rich history and its shifting role in the present.
