Baltic Gallery, Newcastle

At the beginning of this year we went on a class trip to Newcastle for two days in which time we visited the Baltic Art Gallery. It was quite interesting to see the gallery as I have mostly visited the Tate galleries and other London based galleries such as Saatchi and the National Portrait galleries etc.

I enjoyed looking around the gallery and seeing various works but found that the time allocated to viewing it all was far more than actually needed and so we seemed to find ourselves at a bit of a loose end after a while. The pieces that interested me the most were probably the videos that were shown in various rooms and floors throughout the gallery. There was one in particular that we spent a while watching which was all done through digital means with unusual flower forms and strange abstract shapes... I never got to find out who it was by but I liked it... ah well... anyhoo yeah it was a good experience to go there but i don't think it's a place i will be rushing back to anytime soon.
