Glasgow, an Alternative View
Photography by Margaret J Campbell ARPS
My photography started at age 10, with a Box Brownie camera, recording family holidays. Later I used my father’s old prewar cameras and my Halina camera with print film and slides. I then bought a SLR film camera and eventually a digital camera.

Young Writers & Illustrators Society of Glasgow Presents: Challenging Xenophobia Through Storytelling & Art
This project took us out into our neighbourhoods to ask, “How are you and I alike?”
We then illustrated the answers to create a community book. This exhibit showcases this delightful and surprising collaboration!
Landscape & (Re)Settlement / Cruth-tìre & (Ath)Tuineachadh
Baillie Baillie Architects with Community Land Scotland
Wild land or our land: Can a landscape scattered with the remains of thousands of years of human habitation and cultivation be considered ‘wild’; and how might its successful resettlement be realised?
Ruth Gilmour: Material Bodies
“The world makes us in one and the same process as we make the world.” Andrew Pickering
Matter is a substance that is becoming and bodies live from the world. In being permeable systems, bodies are not self contained. Matter-energy flows through bodies as discrete entities, it composes bodies, transforms them and then dissipates; discrete little entities. Challenging conceptions of the body, this work intermeshes the human with other life forms and geographical places. Humans emerge from the same ‘chaotically’ coded forces that continuously entangle them. Despite being one from the environment, we don’t recognise our own ecological dimension. We pushed the earth into the Anthropocene forgetting that it touches us too.

For Botl Botl Botl Thom Rees draws from domestic architectural environments to examine collective memory and its origins through an installation of ceramic sculptures and a series of prints. The works in the show are evident of Rees’ exploration on the phenomenology of space and the malleability of architecture.
