ALT This is a rather good mixed use Glasgow Baroque tenement of 1910-12 at 271-285 Dumbarton Road in Glasgow. With its ground floor shops and red sandstone upper storeys, the tenement is by accomplished architects Campbell Douglas and Alexander Nisbet Paterson. The combination of a strong cornice line with soaring chimney stacks, especially the canted one to the west, breaking through it, is superb.
ALT This is the canted chimney stack at the west corner of a rather good mixed use Glasgow Baroque tenement of 1910-12 at 271-285 Dumbarton Road in Glasgow. With its ground floor shops and red sandstone upper storeys, the tenement is by accomplished architects Campbell Douglas and Alexander Nisbet Paterson. The equally strong blonde sandstone cornice below is that of the Partick Library. Note how the gable is constructed of brick.
ALT Participatory artist duo Jo Hodges and Robbie Coleman represented Scotland on the island of Evoia, Greece for the third residency of @turning-the-tide. Working with sensitivity and respect in an area devastated by floods and fire, their work was redolent with the voices of the people they encountered, the natural smells, touch and taste of the unique landscape and the words, images and documentation shared by local residents themselves. Taking audience members on an interactive journey of provocation and oracle style inquiry we were presented with choices. Whichever route we chose, we were guided ever deeper in the world of ‘before and after’ the disaster - encountering the grief of loss; the mistrust of those in power and the proud resilience of a people determined to build back their communities. The experience was raw and visceral but the final message was one of hope and aspiration for the future.
