“The man behind the Baltic – Europe’s newest contemporary arts complex – has quit as its director. Sune Nordgren steered the centre for contemporary arts in Gateshead, through it’s first turbulent year… The £46m project transformed the former Baltic Flour Mills, a disused 1950s grain warehouse, into an international contemporary arts venue.” Nordgren is heading home to Norway, where he will become the director of the National Museum for Art, Architecture and Design.
