BALTIC presents SITE, Mark Wallinger's largest exhibition in the UK for over a decade. Wallinger will realise three major new commissions and give the UK premiere of his new film Construction Site 2011.
Richard Rigg
18 May 2012 - 9 September 2012
Playful and often humorous, Richard Rigg’s sculptures manipulate everyday objects, asking us to view their physicality and function in a new light. Previously he has re-tuned a piano entirely to middle C and manipulated a meter ruler so that it formed a perfect circle.
