Museum Modern Art, Oxford
Re-animations is Candice Breitz first solo exhibition in a UK public gallery. It includes recent work and a major new video installation, Becoming, made for the exhibition.
RE-ANIMATIONS
Candice Breitz's multimedia installations examine the language of popular culture as it is mediated through films, television and music, from cliff-hanger episodes of Dallas to sentimental pop videos. Using techniques of cutting, splicing and montage combined with a powerful sense of staging, Breitz creates compelling psychodramas into which the viewer is irresistibly drawn.

Jim Lambie - MALE STRIPPER
From psychedelic floor works to glitter covered turntables, Jim Lambie's sculptures and interventions energise the gallery space.
In Lambie's hands, ordinary materials found lying around and in junk shops are transformed into shamanistic objects.
'Lambie's art is so rock-and-roll as to be irrestible to anyone who has ever found religion in a concert hall or on the dance floor.'
Art in America
At Modern Art Oxford Jim Lambie is creating a new installation for the Upper Gallery. It is the first in a series of exhibitions and projects in which artists respond to the Gallery's largest space.
Jim Lambie was born in Scotland in 1964. He studied at Glasgow School of Art in the Department of Environment Media. Jim Lambie has exhibited internationally since 1995 and is currently one of three artists representing Scotland at the 2003 Venice Biennale.
