Think Tank is a collaboration between leading policy think tanks and artists, and is a reaction to the events of the past 18 months. The exhibition invites the viewer to consider the current political and financial climate and suggests ways of improving the future in this country.
The exhibition uses as it's starting point the acknowledgement that our political system is a stitch-up, with the power being shared by the ruling parties, with little chance of it being relinquished and despite announcements to improve peoples lives, some of the work suggests government policy is doing the opposite, in areas such as housing.
The think tanks involved include the Fabian Society, who have teamed up with AOC Architecture, and Compass, who have worked with Popular, and they use a variety of mediums to inform and debate. For the politically and culturally engaged, this is a must-see exhibition.
Think Tank runs until 23 January 2010 and you can find more information at www.ngca.co.uk |

On Thursday night the Tyneside Cinema played host the world premiere of The Black Page – the latest performance by audiovisual group The Sancho Plan.
A combination of real-time animation and live music, The Black Page had the group performing on stage while simultaneously controlling the action onscreen – as a lost wanderer comes across a surreal desert landscape, where a strange Guardian holds the key to his way home.

 The Gala Theatre in Durham has, for a while now, been quietly building a reputation as the North East’s best venue for comedy. Being a theatre rather than a comedy club, it manages to sidestep the ‘Stag and Hens’ curse that has made Newcastle’s dedicated venue The Hyena Café a no-go area, while it’s relatively compact size makes it more suited to comedy than it is to most lavish theatre productions – letting them go to the Theatre Royal and the Northern Stage.
