The NewcastleGateshead Winter Festival gets underway with Glow 07, a series of seven contemporary artworks and illuminations projected through light. Each will exhibit an intimate and often absurd relationship to their specific environment. Glow 07 is guaranteed to brighten the darkest winter night and light up our cityscape in a totally unique way.

Lothar Götz
Map icon Himmelblau/Crimson - Various locations

Götz will be making a citywide composition of colourfully lit landmark buildings across Newcastle and Gateshead. See many you can spot! The following buildings and organisations are taking part:
Gateshead: BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, Gateshead Civic Centre, Gateshead Town Centre Multi-storey Car Park, Gateshead Millennium Bridge, QEII Metro Bridge and Old Town Hall.
Newcastle: Cale Cross, Newcastle Civic Centre, Centre for Life, Marks & Spencer, Metro Cubes (Central Station and Monument), Monument Mall, Newcastle College, Northumbria University (City Campus East and footbridge), Laing Art Gallery, Northern Stage and Theatre Royal.

Susan Collins

1 Chaser - Tyne Bridge Tower, Gateshead
Collins will transform the top windows of the Tyne Bridge Tower in Gateshead into a rapidly moving light circuit of intense colour. Visible across the river Tyne and beyond, the animation will continually ‘chase’ around the building as the colours gradually shift over time.

Tanya Meditzky

2 Electric Pets - Former Nitro Shop, 2 Grainger St, Newcastle see map
3 We're All in it Together (Whatever it is) - The Sage Gateshead see map

Meditsky will project a series of stills in Newcastle from Electric Pets, a comic animation which explores some absurd energy sources. In The Sage Gateshead there will be a single projection of a kaleidoscopic whirlpool of colours and people.

GLOW 07 - Tod Hanson quayside projectionTod Hanson

4 Gable Engine - Trinity Chambers, The Customs House, Quayside, Newcastle (next to Flynn's Bar) see map
Hanson will create a light projection on Newcastle’s Quayside using a disco-mechanism to show the repetitive rhythms of architecture, energy and waste.

Walker and Bromwich
5 Limbo-Land - Worswick Chambers, projected from the Old Fire Station, Pilgrim St, Newcastle

For Glow 07, Zoë Walker and Neil Bromwich will present Limbo-Land, a ghostly and poetic film crossing dreams and reality of lunar exploration filmed at night at Goswick Sand, north of Holy Island, Northumberland. Contextual films on the making of Limbo-Land will be on show with the original inflatable ‘moon’ at BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, Gateshead from 4 December – 6 January 2008.

Nayan Kulkarniwich
6 Nocturne - Queen Elizabeth II Metro Bridge

Kulkarni, commissioned by Nexus in 2006, designed an ever-changing colour light work for the QEII Metro Bridge linked to the tidal movements of the Tyne. 140 LED lights illuminate the bridge with bands of colour determined by digital photographs sent in by the public. Lothar Götz will be altering the lights during Glow 07 to fit with his citywide light colour painting.

Lulu Quinn
7 Rise and Fall - Gateshead Riverside Park, Pipewellgate

Commissioned by Gateshead Council this year, Quinn has made a 6m glass and stainless steel arch creating a meeting point and dynamic viewing platform onto the riverside. 10,000 LED lights randomly rise and fall within the structure making the arch appear to wobble, fall down and rebuild itself.

Miles Thurlow and Cath Campbell
8 NO NO NO NO NO - The railway viaduct in Hymers Court, next to the Tyne Bridge, Gateshead

A thought provoking temporary text work commissioned by Gateshead Council in 2007, which glows subtly at night and raises questions about how one experiences the everyday environment.

Edwin Li

Shadowplay - Li will present Shadowplay! at Northern Stage and in a mobile unit travelling across Newcastle and Gateshead encouraging city-goers to make shadows at different sites. There will be a series of performances in the different locations.
