Globe Gallery hosted internationally renowned artist brothers Christoph and Sebastian Mügge for a site specific installation exploring the imagined home and archive of a fictional person who had died. Based in Malmö, Sweden, the pair have exhibited extensively across Europe and beyond, creating ambitious installations that draw on local histories, found objects, archives and community participation to explore themes of memory, loss, belonging and the traces people leave behind.

Through domestic objects, forgotten collections, old photographs, handwritten notes, souvenirs, household oddities and everyday clutter, Mourning Tea Tyne & Lost Frequencies built an immersive environment reflecting on memory, grief, dementia and what remains after someone is gone. The project looked gently at the way memories can fade, shift or become fragmented over time, and considered the objects we keep after loss: things that can seem ordinary, funny, strange or even embarrassing, yet carry deep personal meaning.

Ahead of the exhibition, Globe Gallery invited the North Shields community to contribute objects, memories and stories, which fed directly into the artists' residency and the resulting installation. The exhibition opened with a preview evening on Thursday 18th June, marking the culmination of the Mügge brothers' residency at Globe Gallery. Christoph and Sebastian Mügge's collaborative work has been presented in galleries, museums and biennials across Germany, the Netherlands, South Korea, France, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Recent projects include Traumatic Trash Pizza in Brescia, Italy (2025), Lost Library Legends at Copenhagen's historic Round Tower (2024), Circular Faroe Tales at the Nordic House in the Faroe Islands (2024), and participation in the internationally recognised Rauma Triennale in Finland.
