Recorded on 22 December 2021 via zoom this conversation with Malcolm Dickson- a curator, writer and organiser, alongside being the director of Street Level Photoworks and Marcus Jack, a freelance curator, writer and print designer. As Malcolm notes he worked with GoMA from its inception, including curating a show, Infinitude, which opened in 2000. This work (and more) that Malcolm has done in Scotland is also part of Marcus’ PHD looking at the history of artists moving image in Scotland since 1970 and was at the heart of an interesting conversation about moving image in Scotland, GoMA’s early ambitions about new media and conservation gaps of key moments in video in Scotland.
