Tranmission Gallery
After gaining a fine art degree at Coventry Polytechnic Jaime worked with Transmission Gallery, Glasgow, working along side recent fine art graduates like Douglas Gordan and Christine Boreland on projects including the Malcolm Mclaren curated 5th International Festival of Plagiarism 1989. And as a community artist at the Goven ship workers centre.
Transmission was set up in 1983 by graduates from Glasgow School of Art who were dissatisfied with the lack of exhibition spaces and opportunities for young artists in Glasgow. Through sponsorship and support from the Scottish Arts Council they managed and maintained a space in which to exhibit their work and the work of a rapidly growing collective of local artists. They began to invite artists who had influenced them to show in the gallery and become part of this dialogue.
The festival of Plagiarism included:
Mixed media works, lectures and discussions with Mark Bloch, Wendy Lanxtner, The Tape-Beatles, Billy Clark, The Mudguards, AC Acoustics, King Mob, We Are Men, Kola Itch, Jayne Taylor, Stweart Home and Mark Pawson.
Eye Level Gallery & Studios (Phoenix)
In 1991 Jaime founded the Eye Level Gallery and studios Brighton, inviting a group of artist to form a collective to develop and manage the space - along the lines of Transmission, but also incorporating a studio complex.
The Organization established itself as the largest artist -led space in the South East - with over 100 artist studios and a gallery/community outreach workspace across a floor of the building.
In the 1990s Jaime curated a number of exhibitions and commissions for the Brighton Arts Club,
Brighton Festival, Sussex University, Brighton University and the Brighton Dome.
Taking a Arts Management course at Sussex University in 1995 Jaime went on the work as the exhibitions officer for Southern Arts touring in 1996-1997 & public art and commissions officer for South East Arts Board in 2000.
Phoenix is a charity and freeholder of the building, about to start a £2.5 Million redevelopment project.
