THE GLASGOW SCHOOL OF ART. THE REID BUILDING. 2014. OPENING PROGRAMME. ONE MONTH BEFORE THE RENNIE MACKINTOSH BUILDING BURNT DOWN.

Glasgow: Glasgow School of Art, 2014

21 x 15cm, 6pp plus card covers. Interesting design with the cover being a leporello with 3 groups of 20pp bound into the spines. This was the programme released on 9/4/14 when the new addition to the School of Art was opened and has details of the architecture and history with colour images throughout. However only one month later on 23 May 2014 the famous and Historic Rennie Mackintosh Building burnt down from a major fire. That fire and the lack of any real movement in rebuilding such a major part of the Art School led to incredible levels of criticism towards the school and its administration. This document is ironically self-congratulatory and adds to a view of the failures of the school due to hubris. VG+.
