Star City at Nottingham Contemporary

For Easter we went to the new Nottingham Contemporary Art Space. It is great! Great shop! Great things for kids to do and interesting exhibitions. There is also a fab cafe which sells egg and fingers and artic roles for the kids.

The current exhibition is Star City . . this is what the blurb says . .

How was the future imagined under Communism – and why is that vision so important to us today? These are the questions that Star City, named after the USSR’s secret cosmonaut training base, sets out to explore. It features the work of leading artists who grew up in the former Eastern Bloc and have emerged as international artists during the last decade – Althamer, Kusmirowski, Macuga, Mir. Star City also includes leading figures of the Eastern and Central European avant-garde from the 60s and 70s – Filko, Kabakov, Koller - together with other leading contemporary Western artists who have worked behind the former Iron Curtain – Jane and Louise Wilson, Otolith Group.


Mainly there was a big space man that you could run about it!!
