New Glaswegians - Part of Doors Open Day Festival
In a culture where the movement of people is one of the defining topics of the day, how do those new to this city see it? Who are the people in ‘People Make Glasgow’? What are the places (iconic or otherwise) that define the city?
Proposed development at Sauchiehall St/Dalhousie St (Glasgow School of Art/02 ABC)
We have submitted the objection below to Glasgow City Council, and would urge others to do the same. Due to rights issues, we're unwilling to reproduce the renderings and images depicting the proposal here, but we would suggest you view them here ('View 1', 'View 2', etc.) - plans are also available on that page. Please consider this proposal very carefully. The deadline for submissions has now passed, and we await developments with interest.
This is a proposal that compromises the character of Sauchiehall Street, regardless of its impact on the Art School, and the present 02 ABC building - both structures of obvious historical and aesthetic importance. We deserve better.
MMIM: Plus-One
MMIM: Plus-One is a three day residency with ten artists at New Glasgow Society. The residency is organised by MMIM (Katie Reid and Emma Reid). Their projects, prompted by open-source methodologies, bring together artists to share and develop ideas through research, making, and dialogue. MMIM have a prevailing interest in working site-responsively, so the site plays a formative role for each project.
Unbuilt Glasgow
We're trying to help an author who's working a substantial research project on buildings, schemes and built features that were proposed, but never completed, within Glasgow.
Clyde: celebrated past, debatable present, wide-open future
3:00pm, Sunday July 17th
Clydesdale Amateur Rowing Club
Glasgow Green
G1 5QA
'The Clyde made Glasgow, and Glasgow made the Clyde', runs the old saying. It gave Glasgow life, connected it to the world, enabled it to become the trading powerhouse it once was, and has provided inspiration for centuries of writers and artists. So how is being treated in the city's largely post-industrial phase? Who really 'owns' the Clyde? What should we ask of it? What are the priorities for its future?

#ArchiAffects
Photography Exhibition: Sat 9 and Sun 10 July: open 12–5
An open-platform photography project exploring how architecture in Scotland affects us in our everyday lives
#ArchiAffects aims to engage as many people as possible with architecture in Scotland through photography and social media.
Architecture surrounds us every day. Whether its your own home, a simple bus shelter on your morning commute, a city street or a different type of space such as a sportsground, art gallery or club we're looking for your images of how you're affected by your built surroundings.
Nikki Kane - Playing on the water
Playing on the water is an exhibition of new work by Nikki Kane which follows an extended period of research reflecting on ideas of the River Clyde as an under-used public space. Recent dialogue around these ideas have often centred on the riverbanks as public sites and present the river as a 'monument' or barrier of sorts. This exhibition presents work made in response to the surface of the river itself, and to its movement and materiality, drawing attention to the potential of the water as a site for activity, reflection and motion.
