A Window On Glasgow

I’m delighted this exhibition will be seen again, and nicely includes four of my black and white images, two being from Kvaerner shipyard in Govan, Glasgow, in the early 1990’s, and a further two being of Nelson Mandela in Glasgow in October 1993.

This exhibition includes several photographers and profiles aspects of Glasgow covering styles of social documentary and portraiture to street and architectural photography. The work portrays a unique profile of a city in constant transition - from the mid 70s, when half the city’s tenements were being demolished and the other half undergoing transformation and construction, to more recent depictions of people and place which convey the energy of change in the environment and in the diversity and demographics of its inhabitants. From a city recovering from the post-war deindustrialisation and depopulation, to one that has cohered around community spirit, civic pride and a cultural resurgence in its art, music, theatre and writing, the exhibition aims to capture aspects of the social, cultural and political identify of Scotland’s largest city.

Includes work by Jeremy Sutton-Hibbert, Hugh Hood, Arpita Shah, Iseult Timmermans, Chris Leslie, Keith Ingham, Martin Hunter and David Gillanders.

Produced in 2016, it was premiered in Marseille as part of celebrations marking the twinning of the two cities, and was originally supported by Glasgow City Council and the City of Marseille. It is being revisited on the occasion of Glasgow 850 and our wider programme aligned with that. 

As ever with thanks to Malcolm Dickson, and the team at Street Level Photoworks.
