You like to know how things work, I know I do well that’s why Science Fair will be right down your street.

Science Fair™ returns for a new school year with an evening dedicated to one of the great ‘what ifs’ of the modern world. Back in the 1960’s, a promising breed of safer, cleaner nuclear reactors emerged – powered by an abundant element called Thorium. Could such designs have prevented climate change and nuclear proliferation, and could Thorium still save the world? Join super/collider and guests from The Weinberg Foundation as they explore the latest breakthroughs, followed by a screening of the recent Motherboard documentary, The Thorium Dream.

super/collider presents an evening of laidback science – bringing together scientists and stylists, chemists and creative-types, artists and astronomers. with discussions, DIY experiments and a chance to ask why, it’s just like being back in science class. except with a bar. and music. and more awesome

OLEK: Debut UK solo show @ Tony’s Gallery / Until 23rd March 2012

TIME AND PLACE:

Doors: 11am – 7pm

/ www.agataolek.com

Tony’s Gallery is exhibiting the debut UK solo exhibition by Polish-born, New York-based artist Olek; entitled: “I do not expect to be a mother but I do expect to die alone”.

Renowned for her use of crocheted yarn as a medium both indoors and on the street, the artist has created a major installation and sculptural environment: a distinctive Olek-esque living room filled with domestic objects of all kinds. These, along with the gallery walls and floor, have been entirely covered in crochet.

For this exhibition, Olek has drawn inspiration from her experiences of living in the UK over the past few months and assimilating into British culture, as reflected in recent works such as her crocheted London black cab, a piece produced outside of Tony’s in November. The show’s title is a direct quote from ‘I do not expect’, an appliquéd blanket produced by Tracey Emin in 2002.

Olek was recently listed in the Artinfo article ‘See the Women Who Shook Up the Art World in 2011′ alongside Anita Zabludowicz, Marina Abramovic and Mera Rubell and has also been listed in “The 25 most important artists of 2011”.

Laced Feat. Chris Woodward @ The Brickhouse / Sunday 15th January 2012

TIME AND PLACE:

20:30 – 02:00

@ The Brickhouse
152c Brick Lane
Shoreditch
E1 6RU

Entry: £10 OTD

We can’t think of a better producer/dj to take over the reign for tonight’s shindig than Chris Woodward from Buzzin Fly, a stalwart of the East London house scene. Warming up the room it’s Nick Maleedy (Excuse the Mess), and taking it home will be their very own Pej.

Chris Woodward was discovered by Ben Watt in 2003, Buzzin’ Fly’s rising star and resident spinner. He was quickly snapped up by the label and has been a key resident ever since. Since the label’s inception Woodward has been a cornerstone of Buzzin Fly’s European party schedule, tag-team with Ben Watt on almost every event in the capital since it’s inception. As well as resident DJ, he’s has just released his first remix for the label.

Nick Maleedy is the resident DJ and co-promoter of Excuse The Mess, and has already had the pleasure of mixing alongside many of Europe’s finest. Playing along side Pan-Pot, Robert Dietz, Christian Burkhardt, Subb-an, MyMy and Mark Henning. Nick’s sound is a blend of stripped-down deep dubby house and techno, mixing between lighter disco tracks and tougher edged percussive grooves allowing him to keep the crowd on their toes. It’s this reputation that has allowed him to play two huge gigs at Fabric for Wetyourself, as well as many of the other best clubs and parties in London such as Half Baked, Krush, Jaded, Cargo, Cable, Corsica Studio’s, and Red Gallery.

Last but not least, Pej has been resident DJ at The Brickhouse for the past 3 years. He’s played back to back with some of the biggest names that have dropped there, and has a solid background in house music which gives him a versatile sound. If anything comes near to his closing set at the launch of Laced and more recently his set at the Cadenza showcase, we’re in for something huge.
