Exhibition: Glasgow Shops- The Development of a Retail Empire
According to several recent controversial government reports, high streets of the future will be lined with coffee shops and internet kiosks and 4 out of 10 shops will be forced to close in the next 5 years as consumers move to online shopping.
Glasgow has an interesting and vibrant retail history and is the second busiest shopping area in the UK. Four students from the University of Glasgow and Glasgow School of Art have created this exhibition to explore the history of traditional historic shops in Glasgow, look at surviving & restored traditional shops and illustrate successful modern adaptations of retail units.
Exhibition by Beth Greenway, (Glasgow University), Lilija Oblecova (Glasgow School of Art), Friederike Well (Glasgow School of Art) & Sileas Wood (Glasgow University).
