IT’S not quite as certain as a field of bluebells as a harbinger of spring, but the first in-gallery photography exhibition of 2021 certainly feels like the beginning of the end of the Covid pandemic in Scotland. Assuming the vaccine programme enables us to avoid a third wave of the virus, it won’t be long, one hopes, before we are perusing pictures in galleries without our masked faces being reflected back at us in the glass. For now, however, it’s masks on, hands disinfected and contact details given before one is admitted to Glasgow’s Street Level Photoworks gallery for Nicky Bird’s haunting exhibition, Legacy. Bird defines her work as the art of “living memory”, that is an exploration of people and places, and the relations between the two, “before it becomes ‘history’”.
