The Ragged Kingdom - an installation by Jamie Reid

About

Isis Gallery and Londonewcastle are proud to present the first major installation by Jamie Reid in London since 1983. He is world renowned for his work with the Sex Pistols, but there is so much more to his work than this. After a long creative residency at the Strongroom Studios, Shoreditch he is now immersed in discovering and revealing the Aspects of the Eightfold Year. Ragged Kingdom will manifest as a Peace Camp in our midst - a place to pow-wow. Eight custom-made tipis with magickal adornments will be drawn up into a protective circle with a ritual space at its axis. Tipis traditionally represent Shelter, Wonderment, Harmony, Peace, Beauty and Community. For Ragged Kingdom, each tipi will be a world in itself, internally representing eight aspects of Reid's career to date - Suburban Press, The Cat Book, Sex Pistols, How To Become Invisible, Afrocelt/Visual Stress, Strongroom, a Festival of Sleeves and the Eightfold Year.
