James Thompson: On Lost Ground
GLOAM presents: On Lost Ground: James Thompson
Opening Night: 04/09/26, 6–9pm
Open Saturdays 12–4pm and by appointment
04/09/26–27/09/26
On Lost Ground, Thompson’s debut solo exhibition at the gallery, brings together a new body of site-specific sculpture and a live architectural sound intervention that responds to GLOAM’s layered history as an industrial site, DIY music venue, and artist-led space, as well as the ongoing transformation of Castlegate in Sheffield’s City Centre.
Developed through casting, excavation, and architectural listening, the works draw connections between artist-led spaces, changing land use, and traces of urban transformation. The installation includes casts of S1 Artspace’s new premises in a former bank building, a rammed-earth work made from material excavated during the Castlegate archaeological works, and a live sound installation that amplifies vibrations travelling through GLOAM’s structure.
On Lost Ground explores how buildings accumulate histories and how ground retains traces of the past while carrying shifting values and potential.
The exhibition will be accomplished by a participatory workshop (more coming soon!).
Artist: James Thompson
Curator: Victoria Sharples
This project is supported by the Henry Moore Foundation, the University of Leeds, and has been developed with the generous support of S1 Artspace and Wessex Archaeology.
