3 unusual facts about Apollo Pavilion


Apollo Pavilion

In 1998, English Heritage recommended the structure be given listed status but this was declined by Tony Banks in deference to the local political issue.

In 2004, the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art in Gateshead commissioned Jane and Louise Wilson to make a video installation featuring the Pavilion.

Jane and Louise Wilson

Jane and Louise Wilson's work together includes multiscreen video installations and photo-pieces; their artworks often feature institutional spaces, for example an oil rig, the archives of the Stasi in East Berlin (the building had previously been used by the Nazis and Stalin's Russia), The Houses of Parliament, and the Apollo Pavilion in Peterlee designed by Victor Pasmore.
