Artists Sooun Kim, Greer Pester, and Jamie Fitzpatrick will use the space to explore themes of power and prosperity.

The programme was launched with Sooun Kim's "Resilient Chandelier" installation, and will continue with Greer Pester and Jamie Fitzpatrick's works in May and June. Late last year, Outer Spaces secured a temporary lease on the building, which was last open to the public in summer 2024. Sooun Kim, Resilient Chandelier, Outer Spaces Banking Commission, 2025 (Image: Sally Jupp) Shân Edwards, director of Outer Spaces, said: "The banking commissions mark an exciting moment for Outer Spaces, where we can offer both space to create and present to artists from our growing network. "By hosting work in such a large scale and central location, we are able to support and bolster the Scottish arts ecology in a positive way, and help artists make work in spaces suitable for their practice. "It's also fantastic to be working in the city centre as we can invite and host so many members of the public, both those passing by during their everyday lives or who are already engaged in the city's art scene." Greer Pester, Cuddle Puddle at Sensory Glisk, in collaboration with artist Salima Punjani, 2022 (Image: Augustina Isidori) Outer Spaces has supported more than 900 artists in 120 properties across 13 local authorities. Since 2021, they have used unused commercial spaces for public good by removing financial barriers for visual artists.
