WHY I LOVE

THE CLYDEPORT BUILDING by Matt Baker

l could have been a smartarse and looked up the artist -— but that would have been missing the point. Part of the reason I love this work is because I don't need to know who made it (the cult of celebrity hOk 5: little sway within the tough logic of urban renewal in which public sculpture survives or vanishes).

The Clydeport artist had. by necessfly. to speak the symbolism of their day but also had the confidence and belief to invest their talent in a longer time frame. To do this the scqutOr SlltllllIQCl his eyes so as not to see the carVings in isolation but rather as part of the building as a whole. The sculpture and architecture are one. in a surface that transcends the logic of building. becoming a skin made alive.

The symbolism of Clydeport is lost to us now. Rather. we understand the sculptures as amusingly strange. yet the building as a whole speaks an altogether more ancient language of weight. silhouette and balance that connects us with something fundamental in the human urban project - an animate presence aware of its Surroundings and ready to communicate with them. If only they'd knock down that bloody caSino in front of it.

I The Cit/deport Building is on Robertson Street. Glasgow. Matt Baker IS lead artist for the regeneration of Gorba/s. Glasgow.

New work by Venice Biennale participant Davis, whose work was also recently part of the Country Grammar

exhibition at GoMA. Folded fork arms in a defensive pose and a string of letters spelling the necklace ‘PARTICIPANT’ is a characteristic play on

words and picture.
