KEEP GLOBE TURNING
CURRENTLY SHOWING
THANK YOU
MOURNING TEA TYNE & LOST FREQUENCIES
A huge thank you to everyone who braved the wind and rain to join us at Salt Market Social for our Keep Globe Turning fundraising evening and the launch of Anthony Downie and Tallulah Lines’ limited edition prints.
Thanks to your incredible generosity and support, we raised almost £4,000. Every penny will go towards helping Globe Gallery continue doing what we do best: supporting artists, creating opportunities and bringing people together through art.
A special thank you to all the artists who generously donated work, our amazing volunteers, supporters and everyone who helped make the evening such a success. We couldn’t do it without you.
These are challenging times for small, independent arts organisations like Globe. Keeping our doors open and continuing to deliver an ambitious and accessible programme is becoming increasingly difficult, but after more than 30 years, we’re determined to keep Globe turning.
Our fundraising efforts don’t stop here. We’ll soon be launching a Crowdfunder, alongside further events and opportunities to get involved. Every contribution, however large or small, will help secure Globe’s future.
Mystery Art Bags
If you missed out on the evening, our Mystery Art Bags are still available to buy online through our shop and in store at the gallery. Each bag contains a selection of artworks and surprises, a fantastic way to support Globe while taking home something special. There’s still one Golden Bag waiting to be discovered, containing artwork and goodies worth over £500!

Globe Gallery is currently hosting internationally renowned artist brothers Christoph and Sebastian Mügge for Mourning Tea Tyne & Lost Frequencies, a site specific installation exploring the imagined home and archive of a fictional person who has died.
Based in Malmö, Sweden, the pair have exhibited extensively across Europe and internationally, creating immersive 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.
Using domestic objects, forgotten collections, old photographs, handwritten notes, souvenirs and everyday clutter, the exhibition transforms Globe Gallery into a richly layered environment reflecting on memory, grief, dementia and what remains after someone is gone. It gently explores how memories can fade, shift and fragment over time, while considering the emotional significance of the ordinary objects we keep after loss.
The installation has been shaped by contributions from the North Shields community, who were invited to share personal objects, memories and stories during the artists' residency. These contributions have become an integral part of the exhibition, creating a unique dialogue between local histories and the artists' practice.
Christoph and Sebastian Mügge's work has been presented in galleries, museums and biennials across Germany, the Netherlands, South Korea, France, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Recent exhibitions 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 the internationally recognised Rauma Triennale in Finland.
