A Visual Story: Hannah Perry

• You will find this exhibition in our level 4 gallery
• As you approach this exhibition you will encounter a large dark blue centre wall 
• On this wall there is the exhibition title and the running dates in gold letters
• Enter the gallery through the entrance on either side of the centre wall

• As you go through the exhibition doorway you will enter a room with white walls and the ceiling lights are turned down low
• In front of you there will be a large screen which may be playing a film
• On your left there will be a scaffolding structure with three black and grey panels of artwork
• If you move around to the other side of this scaffolding structure you will see a silver metal panel that looks a bit like a mirror
• On your right there will be a scaffolding structure with two large metal sculptures in the middle in the shape of a pelvis
• There is flashing lights and imagery in this exhibition

• There are 16 speakers around the room
• The speakers around the room will play nearly continuous sounds
• The sounds consist of: 
  - Low rumbling 
  - Bells ringing 
  - Chimes on a clock 
  - People speaking over loud sound 
  - Piano music 
  - People singing
• The sound is largely at 70 decibels and raises to 78 decibels in limited parts
• The sounds will be played in different sections of the space
• The sequence of the sound from the speakers is: 
  - Film (17 min)
  - Rest (2 min)
  - Chorus (3 min)
  - Rest (1 min)
  - Rage  Fluids (3 min 16 sec)
  - Rest (1 min)
  - Repeat 
• If you require ear defenders let a member of Baltic Crew know

• The screen at the back of the gallery is in a scaffolding structure with lights around it 
• When the film plays the lights will glow and flash 
• The film is 17 minutes long and restarts 10 minutes after it finishes 
• The sound from the film will play through the speakers around the room 
• There are benches in front of the screen that you can sit on 

• The scaffolding structure with two metal sculptures are set on a moving loop
• The sculptures rotate for 45 seconds 
• The sculptures rotate every half an hour
• There is grinding noise when the sculptures rotate 
• The noise will come from the structure 

• The structure with black and white panels does not make noise and does not move
• When you are looking at these panels you will still be able to hear the noise from the other artworks

• On the other side of the structure with 3 black and white panels is a large silver metal panel
• The metal panel will vibrate and make noise for 3 minutes 
• This vibration and noise will happen every 24 minutes
• The noise from the metal panel will come from the speakers behind it

• You can travel around the exhibition in any direction 
• Take as long as you want in the exhibition, there is no time limit
• Once you are ready to leave the gallery, head back and exit the same way you entered
• There will be a Baltic Crew member in the gallery, they are there to help and assist you with any questions
