Alasdair Gray in Conversation with Edwin Pickstone

Gray is one of Scotlands most acclaimed writers, and his practice has been subject to major retrospectives this year, including the exhibition ‘Spheres of Influence II‘ at GSA. He has recently made a significant donation of his publications to the Glasgow School of Art Library, a number of which will be available to view at the event.

Edwin Pickstone is a designer and researcher working in the Communication Design department at Glasgow School of Art. His work spans academic, artistic and design worlds, with particular interest in the history of typography, graphic design, print and the nature of the book.

A short film commissioned by A feral Studio and My Bookcase documenting a talk based on correspondence between Gray and Pickstone regarding Gray's innovative and singular approach to the layout of the printed page.

This 'conversation' was conducted as a public talk in the Caseroom at The Glasgow School of Art.
