Started in 2013 with a grant from IdeasTap by photographer Sarah Amy Fishlock, Goose Flesh is a Glasgow-based photography zine that aims to showcase the work of emerging and established artists who are Glasgow born, based, or associated, as well as occasionally featuring the work of friends from other places. Priced at £5, Goose Flesh aims to be a compact and affordable snapshot of Glasgow’s immense photographic talent. Each volume is introduced by a Glasgow-linked writer whose subject is not primarily photography, offering further perspectives that demonstrate photography’s effects in the wider world. Embracing all photographic mediums, from large-format to phone photography, each edition is accompanied by an exhibition: so far, these have taken place in venues as diverse as The Arches, Trongate Gallery 103, and Dennistoun venue Stan’s Studio.
Stock Take is a new collection of images by contributors to Goose Flesh’s first four volumes, a playful look at the concept of the retrospective and a celebration of the immense photographic energy our city has to offer. This exhibition features work by Alan Knox, Claire Maxwell, Ross Finnie, Robert Ormerod, Craig Gibson, Kotryna Ula Kiliulyte, Veronica Melendez, Sandy Carson, Scott Caruth, Heidi Kuisma, Jenny Wicks, Kate Oldham, Michael Thomas Jones, Tristan Hutchinson, Alishia Farnan, Sarah Amy Fishlock and Emily Macinnes.
Goose Flesh: Stock Take‘s reception and zine launch will be at 6pm Thursday 4 June at Street Level Photoworks (Trongate Gallery 103). All welcome! The exhibition continues until 28 June.
