Contagious Acts is an exhibition showcasing a diverse range of new works by Jamie Holman, including sculpture, installation, painting, ceramics, textiles, audio, and moving image. Through this multidisciplinary practice, Holman delves into the interconnected histories of class, governance and the wider, often unexpected politics of collective gatherings, whether manifested in pop music, protest, or the two principal, intersectional spaces of working class experiences, labour/leisure and work/play.
This sweeping narrative begins with the Bayeux Tapestry, a medieval artifact of power and propaganda, and threads its way through centuries, culminating in the social and cultural dynamics of the UK today.
Holman's work draws upon a diverse and layered range of references, seamlessly moving between medieval art history and contemporary cultural iconography, where record sleeves and song titles hold a significance akin to illuminated manuscripts and post-Reformation painting. His exploration extends into English equestrian art, acid house culture, the industrial revolution, Empire legacies, colonial histories, Brexit, Factory Records, and the enduring influence of The Fall.
