Sora Kim

14 February - 29 April 2007

Melting Alaska

Korean artist Sora Kim creates new experiences of everyday occurrences. Through gentle interventions Kim engages with local communities and encourages audience involvement. In her project for BALTIC, the artist explored the experiences of people in love and how to incorporate these into special recipes. To achieve this, visitors to BALTIC were invited to answer a short questionnaire. Couples shared details about their relationship including their first kiss, the most romantic place they had ever visited and their favourite smell. These were interpreted and translated by a number of local chefs into a soup, a lunch, or a dessert during menu testing workshops. From this five menus were devised.

Marcus Coates

14 February - 18 March 2007

Dawn Chorus

Marcus Coates is a British artist who has exhibited internationally. His work crosses the boundaries between live performance and film making. Coates often documents his dark and humorous attempts to connect with the animal world. Dawn Chorus is the latest in a series of films by Coates in which the human voice accurately mimics birdsong. In this multi-screen video installation 19 singers reproduce a recording of a group of wild British birds singing at dawn. Dawn Chorus explores the relationship between birdsong and its parallels with human culture and behaviour.

Dawn Chorus is commissioned by Picture This for BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, supported by the Wellcome Trust.

Subodh Gupta

14 February - 29 April 2007

Silk Route

Subodh Gupta is an Indian artist whose work is influenced by his experience of migration, displacement and travel. In a humorous and ironic way his work comments on India’s rapidly changing society. To make his sculptures Gupta often uses materials from everyday Indian life, such as domestic stainless steel utensils, old machinery and cow dung. For his exhibition at BALTIC, Gupta will create new work for a sculpture based installation in the ground floor exhibition spac
