Away with the Birds
Hanna Tuulikki's work, Away with the Birds, can be found on Level 2. The work explores the mimesis and representation of birds in Scottish Gaelic song. The composition, visual score and suite of habitat drawings are presented here, highlighting BALTIC's connection to bird life and the annual Kittiwake colony found nesting on BALTIC's north wall.

shot him in the face
American artist Adam Pendleton’s exhibition titled shot him in the face occupies the Ground Floor gallery at BALTIC with one large-scale gesture—a wall that diagonally cuts across the exhibition space.
An exhibition of the work of ten artists will be shortlisted from an open submission by Laurence Sillars, BALTIC Chief Curator; Hilary Lloyd, artist and Turner Prize-nominee; Holly Hendry, artist and inaugural recipient of Woon Foundation Prize; and chaired by Christine Borland, Turner Prize-nominated artist and Professor, Northumbria University.
