Gateshead's award-winning public art

Jun 22 2004

By The Journal

 

Rolling Moon (right) - Colin Rose

Originally created for Gateshead's site at the Glasgow Garden Festival, the elegant curved sculpture reflects the moon's dominant effect on the ocean's tides.

Find it… nestling in the trees between the High Level bridge and the Metro bridge beside the Tyne, Gateshead

The Family - Gordon Young

The stone carvings outside Gateshead Civic Centre represents life's three main stages - infancy, maturity and old age - and the changing relationships which sustain them.

Find it… at Gateshead Civic Centre, Regent Street, Gateshead

Wind Vane - Richard Wood

The large-scale stainless steel sculpture sits in a small landscaped park and acts as an unusual `windvane', commemorating the Windmills, which once stood in the area.

Find it… behind Greensfield Business Centre, near the Borough Arms pub, Gateshead.

Threshold - Lulu Quinn

The unique sound sculpture emits the sounds, songs and stories from 300 local people which unsuspecting visitors can experience when walking through it. The sculpture recently received a prestigious Civic Trust Award.

Find it… at the top of Gateshead High Street near Matalan.
