‘Crème Fraiche Amygdala Hummmm’ Jamie Fitzpatrick, Outer Spaces Bank Commissions

Outer Spaces presents 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.

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.

Jamie Fitzpatrick‘s practice encompasses sculptural installations, performance, drawing & moving image, frequently structured around the narratives and visual rhetoric behind images of authority.

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.
