Well worth the effort to find. Small collection, but some great pieces. Worth visiting for the Schwitters exhibit alone. Ask to see the Schwitter portrait in the study room.
University of Newcastle exhibition space and gallery. Hosting regular exhibitions of works that vary in style, size and period. The highlight is often the annual Fine Art degree shows in June and July. Exhibiting a dizzying array of contemporary art from new artists across a range of disciplines. The gallery itself is well set out with small shop, toilets and staff to answer queries. Not a huge space but perfect for an afternoon visit. Home to the internationally significant Merzbarn by Kurt Schwitters, the only permanent exhibit in the gallery.
I'm not a very arty person but went with a friend and looked round. Lovely art on exhibition and an extremely kind volunteer who helped us get into it when I asked!
This is a great wee gallery. As well as the Kurt Schwitters Merz Barn Wall that I went particularly to see, I stumbled upon a really interesting display about Richard Hamilton's Exhibit 1957. Loved it! Also saw Edinburgh Arts documentation from the 70s. Wonderful story of 20th century art-ism.
Never been as a punter, only on on business in the past. Impressed by the art on display, thought provoking. Especially liked the displays of local, and artists who studied there. Defo be returning.
Giving two stars might seem harsh. I appreciate this free artistic space and the friendly staff, but the art exhibits just don't do anything for me. They don't create any emotional response. Don't get me wrong, I'm not averse to modern art, Banksy has me in fits of laughter and if art can be described as a form of presentation that can generate an emotional response, whatever that might be, then Banksy makes the grade. But I just can't find any meaning or emotional reaction to the current collection of exhibits by Catrin Huber. The Story of Kurt Schwitters life and artistic contributions is interesting, particularly his Merz Barn Wall, but once again, it doesn't do anything for me.
Avoid school times! Great displays of Hadrians Wall.
Roy Lichtenstein exhibition was well worth a visit. On the day I went it was pouring with rain so the gallery was very quiet. Plenty room to view the pictures from a distance and get up really close too. The booklets you could pick up to read about the works were excellent. There to pick up and read as you went round. Strangely nobody else did! And remember there are toilets in the basement if needed if the ground floor ones are busy.
Came up from Somerset to see the Andy Warhol exhibition such a thrill to see he's masterpieces on Display and free of charge . Excellent art gallery with extremely friendly staff.
Very helpful polite staff. The exhibits took me back to previous visits to Newcastle's galleries as far back as 1973. A pleasant trip down memory lane. Poptastic time.
