14 billions by Tomas Saraceno at the Baltic in Gateshead.
I saw this installation last week and absolutely loved it. It is totally inspiring.
The piece is a giant model of the web of the Black Widow spider created from thin bungee cords. The web is composed of 8000 black strings connected by over 23,000 individually tied knots and is housed within a specially created space. It took a group of technicians 2 weeks to install carefully adhering to Saraceno's plan and numbering system. The title 14 billions refers to the estimated age of the Universe.
The installation is on display until 10th October 2010.
