Tinderbox City : Great and Less Great Fires in GlasgowTools Blum, Michael. Tinderbox City : Great and Less Great Fires in Glasgow. Glasgow, Scotland: Publication Studio; Montréal, Qc: Éditions de l'École des arts visuels et médiatiques de l'UQAM, 2017.
Abstract (English)"Tinderbox City. Great and Less Great Fires in Glasgow is a non-scientific, non-exhaustive micro-survey limited to 28 cases among many, many more. Based on newspaper articles or other documents, the project aims at questioning how the sites of these disasters have changed in time, and usually how the memory of these fires is obviously absent from their current form. All the fires that have been excluded, whether the artist decided to ignore them, did not have access to reliable sources, or merely didn’t know about them, will feature in the more extensive survey that might be conducted one day. For now, this modest enterprise will be limited to 28 fires, ranging from the Great Fire of 1652 to the School of Art blaze in 2014." -- Artist's website.
