The Arches, Glasgow

There's a lot to get through, ladies and gentlemen. We have to move quickly...

As the pulsating beat of Death Disco thundered through the walls and thousands of clubbers filled the building, we went on a journey down dark, damp corridors; into hidden rooms and impassable doorways.
 
Passing through bars, stages, derelict spaces and offices, Underneath the Arches explored everything the building can be - a dynamic gig venue then an experimental theatre then a hedonistic nightclub. From extravagant corporate events and alternative film nights to creative learning workshops and burlesque art classes - the space is constantly shifting and never staying still.
 
But the only way to ever really know the Arches is to realise that you can never know it all...
