Baltic centre for contemporary art
Gateshead, Newcastle, UK
Missions: Director, Head of programming
Dates: 2006 - 2008
One of Europe's leading contemporary art centers has regained its prominent place on the British map, under the direction of Jérôme Sans between 2006 and 2008.
He was able to establish a new dynamic with a diversified program, local and international, while ensuring a viable economy and reconnecting the institution to the British and global art scene.
Without a permanent collection, but with a historic location in a former flour mill, Jérôme Sans has given a voice to artists from the local community by confronting them with major international productions such as those of Subodh Gupta, Kader Attia or Kendel Geers.
