BALTIC

I visited the Baltic before easter for the opening of two shows there A duck for Mr Darwin and Sarah Sze solo show Tilting Planet.

A duck for Mr darwin was a realy well curated exhibition putting together Works that look at evolution and natural selection it fetured works by Charles Avery, Marcus Coates s
everal other Artists. I liked how althow all the works where diffrent media and diffrent look compley they all worked real well together becausae of the underlineing theam of the work. The works where not fighting each other for attention from the view they all seemed to be one. This menat the view felt more at ease to wander around the exhibits i think and to go back and forth from one work to the next because they didnt all seem separated.

Sarah Sze Tilted Planet


I have been realy intrested in Sarah Sze for a long time but have never been able to visit a show only seen it in books. The work is 100x better face to face. When you can walk around the work and get in real close and see the detalis it makes it better as u feel more like a viewer into her created worlds. I like how her work is mainly on the floor of the gallery this is a real intresting space as it is rarely looked at or used. This means everyone is looking down to view the work and it is not in there normal view when they see art. In this exhibition the only things that spoilt it for me was there was to many people and invidulaters looking over your sholder to stop you touching the work.
