Holding Ground Through Gray's Lens

Step into the soul of Alasdair Gray through the lens of photographer Matthew Arthur Williams in the new exhibition “Holding Ground” at The Alasdair Gray Archive. This powerful showcase, part of the archive’s first book project “Rich Things,” reveals the intimate spaces and Glasgow streets that fueled Gray’s legendary creativity—captured from objects salvaged after his studio’s 2019 recovery. Williams’ evocative images explore memory, resilience, and the quiet endurance of art amid loss and change, inspired by Chitra Ramaswamy’s micro-essays. The exhibition spills beyond archive walls into neighborhoods like Port Dundas and Garnethill, where Gray’s masterpiece “Lanark” took root. A collaborative triumph, it’s a moving tribute to Gray’s legacy—and a reminder of why art matters, even when the world shifts around you.
