Nuclear: art & radioactivity
14-30 November 2008
Nicholls & Clarke Building, Spitalfields, London E1
Nuclear power is re-emerging as a concern for our times, standing for both the failed utopian promises of modernism and a fresh hope of a carbon-free future. These contradictions are explored in two new commissions by artists Chris Oakley, and Simon Hollington & Kypros Kyprianou, and in a forum at the RSA. In partnership with SCAN.
