Placed on billboards and some pop-up sites, from the city centre to Anniesland in the North West, these are consciously featured in locations close to where the image was taken.
Some depict interiors, others people, architecture and the urban landscape. They reflect back to us the city and the spaces, people, lifestyles and culture that make up our communities. Some contexts have changed dramatically and feel dislocated from what we see now, some haven’t shifted at all.
With thanks to Jack Arts, Martin Gray, Creative Scotland and Glasgow City Council.
This dedicated art space and city-wide display are part of Jack Arts Scotland’s ongoing commitment to championing creativity and culture on the street, supporting local creatives and charities and providing a powerful platform for artists.
The 6 panel, back lit, bespoke poster project at West Graham St, is curated by artist and photographer Martin Gray. The art installations will change throughout the year and highlight works from predominantly Glasgow based artists responding to our shared experience of the urban environment.
