Red Road Underground is a special collaboration between photographer Chris Leslie and illustrator Mitch Miller documenting the last days of Glasgow’s iconic Red Road Flats in the form of a ‘hidden’ underground bingo hall and a nautically themed bar called The Brig. The first Red Road Underground exhibition opens on the 1st February 2012 and runs until the 2nd March at the New Glasgow Society, Glasgow. Leslie and Miller have been invited to exhibit at the recently revamped New Glasgow Society gallery in February 2012, to coincide with the demolition of the first two slab blocks in the same month. The show Red Road Underground will show previously unseen material concerned primarily (but not exclusively) with the underground leisure complexes built at Red Road.
