Brutal Glasgow
Explore Glasgow’s love-hate relationship with Brutalism through this interactive, multimedia exhibition featuring the work of Glasgow based illustrator Nebo Peklo (Natalie Tweedie). Journey from Anniesland Tower to the Gallowgate Twins gaining fascinating insights into the city’s Brutalist buildings with commentary from architects and academics as well as first-hand stories from those who lived and worked in these monumental structures. Devised by Rachel Loughran, a curator specialising in digital design who has previously exhibited with the Alasdair Gray Archive, the exhibition brings Nebo Peklo’s works to life offering a deeper understanding of this often maligned style of architecture. Open every day during Glasgow Doors Open Days Festival week, 10am – 4pm and on selected days until 27 October, Brutal Glasgow tells a uniquely Glasgow story and will make you see Brutalism in a whole new light. If you can’t come in person, you’ll also be able to explore the exhibition online. Don’t miss out – it might just change your mind about these concrete giants!
