ZOË WALKER AND NEIL BROMWICH 4 December - 6 January 2008 Limbo-land (GLOW07)
Limbo-land showcases the work of collaborative duo Zoë Walker and Neil Bromwich. This presentation at BALTIC has been programmed to coincide with an outdoor projection of Limbo-land commissioned and staged by Glow 07 from 4 -17 December next to the Fire Station on Pilgrim Street, Newcastle.
KENDELL GEERS 21 September - 6 January 2008 IRRESPEKTIV
BALTIC presents Kendell Geers first major UK solo exhibition. His work pushes for the limits of accepted moral codes and principles in order to collapse them and start again. Geers questions the psychology of things you cannot control, things beyond the gallery space that art cannot touch, from extreme phenomena to emotional states. Employing a strategy of disruption, using weapons of sexuality, violence and fear, his work is where language and value systems become physical.
KADER ATTIA 21 September - 13 January 2008 Square Dreams
BALTIC presents the first showing of new work by current artist in residence Kader Attia. Born in 1970 to an Algerian family in a Paris suburb, Attia has quickly and forcefully imposed himself on the international art scene. His work explores questions of community, diversity, belonging and exile and the tangle of identity conflicts in the age of globalisation. Square Dreams at BALTIC creates an apocalyptic vision of western consumerism.
THE ZABLUDOWICZ COLLECTION 21 September - 20 January 2008 When We Build, Let Us Think That We Build Forever
Newcastle born Anita Zabludowicz is one of the UK’s most exciting and innovative art collectors. BALTIC presents a selection of work from her extraordinary international collection of emerging and established artists including a new commission by artist Mustafa Hulusi. This is the first of a series of major exhibitions that examine and celebrate the nature of collecting contemporary art in the UK.
SUKY BEST 21 September - 14 October 2007 About Running
British artist Suky Best presents her new work as part of the Great North Run Cultural Programme. Inspired by the BUPA Great North Run, her hand drawn animation captures the atmosphere of the event and the participating runners. Using a process called ‘occlusion’, silhouetted figures are made visible only as they pass each other. This emphasises the individual’s singular effort in amongst the crowd.
ANT MACARI 3 September - 20 January 2008 Fresh as Tomorrow
BALTIC presents a major exhibition by emerging Newcastle-based artist Ant Macari, continuing BALTICs ongoing commitment to local artists. Macari’s direct physical response to the space has resulted in a new series of site-responsive drawings, traceable throughout the building. This presentation of Ant Macari’s work is expansive and involving, presenting new visual challenges to us in and around the gallery that reaches beyond the conventional art exhibition.
LINDER 3 September - 14 October 2007 Pretty Girl. No.1
Liverpool-born artist Linder has been developing collages, photomontage, music, film and performance since the late 1970s. The exhibition includes works from the series Pretty Girl No.1- natural poses (1977), in which images of models from pornographic magazines are merged with household objects. This technique of combining both the sexuality of women and also their domesticity is an attack on conventional female roles and representation.
MARK TITCHNER From 16 May
Mark Titchner’s major new installation will mark the launch of BALTIC’s new art space - The Street. Titchner’s show is the first in a series of projects by international artists and will transform the entire entrance corridor of BALTIC.
NAN GOLDIN
Thanksgiving (from The Sir Elton John Photography Collection)
BALTIC at the request of The Sir Elton John Photography Collection has closed the exhibition Thanksgiving by Nan Goldin.
After the removal of one image from the series it was no longer possible for BALTIC to exhibit the collection of works as the artist intended and therefore BALTIC is symaphetic to Sir Elton John's request and supportive of the decision.
