As part of his project to truly understand, to get under the skin of the city, Jaykoe has travelled the world, looking at the metropolis from different angles, perspectives and vistas. Baudelaire described Guys as “a flâneur,” or a “passionate spectator,” a “lover of universal life,” that “enters into the crowd as though it were an immense reservoir of electrical energy. Or we might liken him to a mirror as vast as the crowd itself…” The flâneur or “the Parisian stroller,” or “spectator of the urban scene” drifted on through the generations, only to be subverted in the same city by the Situationists. A set of complex ideas, in a single image. This work also links to the idea of discovering the beautiful in the abstracted every day. Travel, Speed, alternative views & use of city space, freedom, play, drive, detournment. An exploration of city layers, connections & movements. The projects formed out of distinguishable aspects of the practical work, for example, moving around the city to draw, photograph or capture the space, particularly at the street or transport level, was positioned under the project title City Movements.

Irish / British, b. 1978, London. Based in London. Jaykoe’s work explores globalisation through the accelerated impact on city space. Operating at the intersection of urbanisation, postcolonialism and interculturalism, urban-spatial movements are sampled and traced within densely populated and expanding cities. Areas of research are mapped out across the metropolis, shifting contours that fluctuate over the gridlines of the city like the movements of Parkour, probing the structures of the centres we build up, the forms they take and questioning what they reveal about us. Drawing is the foundation of the work, overlaid with an approach to each project that actively combines and assimilates new materials and techniques in experimental forms. This interdisciplinary approach ranges through installation, neon, sculpture, video, performance, printmaking and other works on paper. The legacy of colonialism and imperialism shaped the multicultural city of London where the artist was born. Being of Irish heritage influenced a critical position on the actions and the authority of the state. Enquiries into movements of cultural resistance are layered with a background as a sound-system DJ. This resonates throughout the work, formally with the application of the techniques used in audio sampling to visual material, conceptually with pirate radio as a metaphor for the notion of networked performances across global cities, all with the potential to construct spaces of positive interaction between different groups and cultures.
