Laing Art Gallery and Baltic visit

On Monday we went to some galleries in town to have a look at the present exhibitions been shown. We first went to The Laing gallery where they were showing work by Colin Booth, Barnaby Barford and the International Print Biennale 2011. Out of all the exhibitions shown at the Laing i only really liked the Barnaby Barford work as it was bright and told a story about how society is today. We then went on to the Baltic where they were showing work by Maurizio Anzeri, Mariah Robertson and Robert Breer. Out of the exhibitions here i only liked the work by Maurizio Anzeri as he uses intricate embroidery to cover the faces of people on old photos to heighten certain features of the face. I also like Mariah Robertson's work as she uses bright colours and different medias on photographic print to create a different picture.

A more detailed reflection of this visit can be viewed in my PPD file.
