Newcastle and The Baltic!



Also last week whilst on my trip to Newcastle I went to visit the gorgeous Baltic. If you ever visit Newcastle this is a MUST place to visit! The view alone inside and around the Baltic is beautiful in its self!





One exhibition which caught my eye was the work of Fabrice Hyber. His current exhibition was being built as we visited but unfortunately opened the day after in which I had returned home. 

The Baltic Guide for the exhibition states: "Using a vast array of materials, Fabrice Hyber makes each of his works in response to another. considering works incomplete without and audience much of his exhibition is interactive, allowing his work to be engaged with ever-changing ways." 

I got so excited when the gallery assistant explained some of the pieces you could interact with I am definitely going to have another visit north to see it (I won't tell you what and spoil it for you). The Exhibition is on from 22nd March to 30th June 2013. It was great though to see the work of an exhibition being built. Here I put my paparazzi skills in place again with a quick snap on the man himself. Maybe I'm in the wrong career? :)

Damien Hirst Exhibition at the Tate!


Warning.... Spoiler Alert as I have included alot of Images from the Exhibition!


I had noticed a show on Channel 4 a month or two ago about Damien Hirst but not managed to watch it, but since I have seen his exhibition advertised at the Tate I have been dying to go. Luckily I have now had chance!
It was definitely an eye opening exhibition. My favourite part of it being the room of butterflies.... walking into the next room of the exhibition I didn't expect there to be a huge amount of butterflies free and flying around. It was amazing. I love them as it is but to see so many varieties and see them flying around quite freely was fab! I love how this room shows the life cycle of a butterfly with the caccoons hung on the walls with some of them open and some still closed.




Even though some may find looking inside the body of an animal disgusting, the way the animals are displayed in this exhibition makes it so intriguing.


Again, more butterflies! How fantastic are the colours of this piece below..







The Exhibition is on at the Tate till September! Get Yourselves There!
