Spanish artist Juan Muñoz (1953-2001), came to prominence in the mid 1980s with his sculptural installations that placed human-like figures in sometimes unusual environments. His Conversation Piece shown here was installed at South Shields in 1999 and consists of 22 bronze life size figures; one of which is seen here ready for a bike ride.
mainly photos from around Newcastle upon Tyne and Northumberland, but not quite daily any more.
