having you on



Level 3 at the Baltic contains an installation by Michael Dean called, 'Having you on'.  The first sight of the installation is through a square entrance sealed off with striped-tape bearing the repeated word, 'sorry'. The tape carries on round the corner to link different elements of the structure which includes, among other things, perspex, concrete castings, a hoop of bronze loose change and sundry moldings of hands in a variety of colours.

Viewed as an entirety it creates a bewildering dreamlike stage which bears repeated viewing at different angles and vantage points.
