One NorthEast: A High of 360 Degrees

Regional Development Agency One NorthEast has demonstrated its commitment to contemporary art by developing a programme of arts commissions by emerging artists at its Red Box-designed headquarters at Newburn Riverside.

A kinetic installation by artist Tanya Axford is the main feature of the atruim. The work consists of more than 250 electric fans that are programmed to start and stop in sequence, and create a wave of movement across the space. The scheme was selected from four ideas by artists in the North East proposed by Commissions North.
