During BALTIC's summer season and marking the tenth birthday, the largest exhibition space is devoted to Turner Prize winning artist Mark Wallinger. SITE comprises four new commissions and is his largest show in the UK for over ten years.
Wallinger turns everyday moments of life into transcendent possibilities, attempting to systematise nature, the mundane and the abstract. 10000000000000000 2012 catalogues and compares 65,536 stones, each occupying its own square on a gargantuan checkerboard — the simplest binary device for implying order.
"Wallinger makes every pebble count in a wonderful exhibition of number-crunching."
