Fixing: The Archive of Alan Dimmick
Moira Jeffrey
In Alan Dimmick’s photographs people make art, form bands, fall in love, tie their hair into new styles and drink beer from the bottle. They go to the beach, watch the seagulls watching them, and fall over on the sand. Children play their own mysterious, inexplicable games. Generations link hands.
A Naturally Perspicacious View of the World
Jacqueline Donachie
Art has many essences. One of the rarest is the joy of being alive, a sumptuous wonder about the way people look, how they dress and pose themselves in public, fantasizing out loud, being bouquets of our strange, strange relation to life, each other, and this passing moment.
The Gift of Time, (10 x 8, b/w)
Ross Sinclair
Imagine you are living in the late 1970s. Let’s settle on 1978 for argument’s sake. Computers don’t exist. Digital culture is simply science fiction. The world wide web is just a nightmare in the fevered imagination of the arachnophobe. Jim Callaghan leads a popular Labour Government. This is about to change.
Here Comes Everybody
Francis McKee
Looking at these photos it becomes clear what an extraordinary enterprise underpins this body of work. Spanning nearly forty years, Alan Dimmick’s images document his personal life, the Scottish landscape, the changing urban terrain of Glasgow and the contemporary art scene in that city.
