Gallery 18 April – 30 May 2008
It was almost inevitable that Charlotte Hodes, who has worked with ceramics as a counterpoint to her paintings for nearly a decade, should find herself appointed the Wallace Collection’s first Associate Artist, for the last two years. Drawn to the collection’s 18th century paintings and particularly the Sèvres porcelain vases with their wild Rococo sculptural elements, Hodes’ synthesis of the fine and decorative arts reveals how exciting these works of ‘utility and ornament’ are, and how well they lend themselves to modern reinterpretation through her own intricately designed ceramics and papercuts.

Between 2000 and 2006 Joakim Eskildsen travelled in seven different countries photographing the life of the Roma and the conditions they face. The journeys, in India, Romania, Russia, Hungary, Greece, Finland and France, came about as a result of chance, coincidence and personal contact, rather than any process of meticulous planning. What the journeys open up on is somewhere and something beyond nations. I Side
Gallery Caroline Coode IMPRESSIONS AND RECOLLECTIONS A retrospective exhibition of prints and watercolours Newcastle Arts Centre April 25 - May 31 2008 OPEN 9-5 MONDAY TO SATURDAY This solo exhibition by Caroline Coode is a way of marking her 70th year. The work reflects her constant themes of landscapes, natural forms, water and light. There are limited edition prints made in a variety of techniques, collages and watercolours. Turning 70 is proving an important marker for her: "I am finding it fascinating looking back at the work I have made over the past 25 years reflecting, as it does, the progress of my artistic life. I see it with fresh eyes and feel quite affectionate towards it, remembering the circumstances in which it was conceived and the ensuing toils of its making" While caring for her family and bringing up five sons Coode maintained her childhood love of painting and drawing. In 1988, at the age of 50, she graduated from Sir John Cass College in Whitechapel, London. She set up adult education classes in London, which ran for six years, and after her move to Newcastle, taught at Newcastle College, Higham Hall, Cumbria and Northern Print. Between 1993 and 2003 Coode led eight painting treks to Nepal. The culmination of these visitswas a touring exchange exhibition with Nepalese artists, which she curated in 2000-2002. Venues included Newcastle, Taunton, Letchworth, Antrim, Edinburgh and Nepal. For six years she chaired The Friends of the Hatton Gallery, Newcastle, running printmaking workshops as part of the events programme. Coode has had several solo shows; exhibited regularly with The Printmakers Council, The National Society of Painters, Sculptors and Printmakers; was commissioned by P&O to produce two works for their new liner ‘Oriana’ and has work in a number of public collections. Now based in the North East, Coode is concentrating on exhibiting in the area, and is delighted to be having this 25 year retrospective in the gallery at Newcastle Arts Centre. Many works will be for sale from £50 with 10% of sales going to cancer research. Newcastle Arts Centre 67 Westgate

21 January - 27 April 2008 They Don’t Make This Anymore
Barry McGee’s first major
UK solo exhibition includes a selection of existing and new
works in an installation created specifically for
BALTIC’s Level 2 gallery. Rooted in the spontaneity and
immediacy of graffiti culture, McGee’s direct approach
considers both the melancholy and humour of life. Disrupting
ideas of property, surveillance and control, his uncontained
practice incorporates damaged surfaces, flash movies and
hundreds of ‘tape’ paintings to question the
privatisation of public space. MONA MARZOUK 20 February - 27 April 2008 The Bride Stripped Bare By Her
Energy's Evil BALTIC presents Egyptian artist Mona Marzouk’s first UK solo exhibition. Marzouk tackles universal themes in her work. She reassembles varied influences including architectural histories, mythology and technology. Marzouk imagines an alternative to cultural difference, a “hybridised future”. For the exhibition at BALTIC Marzouk will produce a new site-specific installation. ......................................................................................................................................................................

Frank Parkin, 'Class Inequality and Political Order', 1971 'Fragile Democracy' brings together a selection of photographers and artists from around the world who use the camera to document communities, micro-societies and subcultures in a state of economic and political transition, or who use the camera in an ethnographic idiom. All of the contemporary works have either been made especially for 'Fragile Democracy' or are shown here for the first time in the UK. Northern
