The U.K.'s Arts Catalyst makes news again with Nuclear Talkaoke, a mobile chat-show inside its exhibition "NUCLEAR: Art & Radioactivity," November 13-30, 2008. The show, in London's Spitalfields, is a response to the re-emrgence of nuclear power, calling up both "the failed utopian promises of modernism and a fresh hope for a carbon-free future." Simon Hollington and Kypros Kyprianou will show an installation, "The Nightwatchman," new work from their residency at The British Atomic Nuclear Group and their work with B.A.N.G’s public consultation process into the possibility of siting a nuclear power facility in the heart of London. Chris Oakley's new film "Half-life" looks at the histories of Harwell, birthplace of the U.K. nuclear industry, and the new development of fusion energy technology at the Culham facility in Oxfordshire.
