The Late Shows

BALTIC is staying up after hours as part of The Late Shows 2008.

Join us on Saturday 17 May until 23.00 and enter an experience of seductive and enchanting environments. Setting the scene in the ground floor gallery is international artist Bharti Kher, with her fantastical exhibition Virus. Up on Level 5, the viewing box is transformed by three North East Artists: Catherine Bertola, Natalie Frost and Karen Davies with new site-specific artwork.

Both Natalie and Karen will be talking about their work on Level 5 as part of The Late Shows. Natalie will also encourage you to recall one of your Enchanted Moments by completing an artist-designed postcard.
