Fiona Crisp – Subterrania

This was the first show I had the chance to see since returning to Newcastle, at BALTIC Centre For Contemporary Art.

Fiona Crisp is a North-East based artist, primarily creating installations of large-format photographs. Subterrania documents underground spaces that are rarely seen. The many prints are large which gives quite a claustrophobic feeling – the individual photographs don’t give the mood justice, it is very much an installation.

The BALTIC show closed a few weeks ago. It will shortly be moving to Impressions Gallery in Bradford from 20th November until 24th January 2010 before finishing at Newlyn Art Gallery in Cornwall between 13th February and 17th April 2010. I’d certainly recommend it. Very different to a lot of photograph-based exhibitions and all the more refreshing for it.
