Baltic: Taratantara

Baltic: Taratantara

Anish Kapoor's 'Taratantara' reflected the Baltic's remit, to bring the most stimulating artists from across the world to make new works in Gateshead. Fabricated in red PVC and 50m long, Taratantara temporarily spanned the building void during the summer of 1999 and marked the Baltic's transition from a flour mill, immediately after the grain silos were demolished, to a gallery, prior to the installation of the gallery floors and infrastructure.
