Giacomo Brunelli : The Animals
|
|
Exhibition closes Saturday 18th July
Weds - Sat: 12 til 5pm - Free
This will be the final show in our current space before we recant back to our improved premises within Trongate 103. The exhibition includes a series of 34 images of animals taken by the artist during his daily morning walks when the light is best and his subjects are those randomly encountered along the way. The black and white images are printed by hand in a makeshift darkroom. The images are dramatic, powerful and intriguing, sometimes comic and occasionally tragic and offer a refreshing change in this age of digital technology.

Dalmarnock Youth Project
Last month we began a photography programme with Dalmarnock Youth Project and the photographer Chris Leslie.
So far around 20 young people have learned about black and white film processing, digital photography or how to use a darkroom. With additional field trips to the Southern Necropolis and fishing on the Clyde, the project has created some interesting images, and commentaries. To view slideshows with commentary please click the links below.
