Gateshead, UK.- The Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, Gateshead presents an exhibition of work by Italian artist Maurizio Anzeri from Saturday 25th June to Sunday 2nd October. The exhibition includes a series of delicate portraits created from found photographs and hand embroidery alongside sculpture. The exhibition at BALTIC will include 25 small portraits, many no larger than an average domestic family photograph, such as Angelo, Louise B and Barnaba. Also included are several pedestal-mounted sculptures incorporating braids of woven hair which transform notions of the body and its image even further.
