Going nuclear

Nuclear energy is one of the great unresolved issues of climate change. James Lovelock says we can't do without it. George Monbiot says thanks, but we still don't need it. Artists are, in theory at least, people who love unresolved spaces, so how will they respond to this? We're about to find out. Arts Catalyst have commissioned the exhibition NUCLEAR: art and radioactivity features new work by Chris Oakley and Simon Hollington and Kypros Kyprianou. Hollington and Kyprianou have created what sounds as if it is going to be a remarkable "immersive narrative environment" blending fact and fiction, at the Nicholls and Clarke Building, 3-10 Shoreditch High Street, Spitalfields, London E1; it's open from 14-3- November, admission free. Take a look at the Arts Catalyst site for opening times. There is, apparently, trouble at the aging BANG nuclear facility in central London; you are invited to visit. There's also there's this talkaoke event on November 14.

And that will be followed by the Nuclear Forum, held in conjunction with RSA Arts & Ecology, featuring an appearance by extraordinary sculptor James L. Acord who spent the 80s and 90s attempting unsuccessfully, and controversially, to secure some material to incorporate in his work. Acord's collision with the nuclear industry was - in part - the inspiration for James Flint's novel The Book of Ash. The forum marks ten years since Acord's last involvement with Arts Catalyst.
