We went to the Baltic near the Millenium bridge were we saw Anselm Kiefer, Dirk Bell and Tomas Saraceno.
Anselm Kiefer
This piece represented Christs body on the floor before he rose again. In the images behind the tree are supposed to represent the death and then rise of Christ. In the paintings there are little birls pinifores. A man in the gallery thought that they represented all the children that had died in the holocaust. This is because Kiefer had related alot of his work to the holocaust. I although i wasnt a big fan of his work its self I loved the meaning behind it and the representation of the different things he wants to say.
Dirk Bell
I didnt fully understand Bells' work, it was a room with lights on the ceiling a glass box in the middle with drawings of eyes on it then this on the wall opposite. I think it is quite clever the way the word IKEA is incorporated into the sign....but i dont really get it.
Tomas Saraceno
Out of all the things I saw at the Baltic this was my favourite!!! it was just amazing!! it took 2 years to make, 2 weeks to install at the baltic. It is actually crazy how complex it is...and its not perfect like a spiders web.
The next day..after an eventful night we went to the coast...
There was a wedding on the beach-he wrote I love you in the sand to her.
We then got the bus to the angel of the North...
