Motorsport of the miniature kind comes to thecentre:mk. The ISRA 2008 Slot Car World Championships will feature the best racers from around the world in this unique, fast paced, adrenalin fuelled event coming to Milton Keynes for the first time. These mini race machines, with very high revving motors, produce staggering performance, are distant relative from the home slot cars sets used by families around the nation.
Get your driving gloves on! There will also be a public track for novices to try slot car racing for the first time. The lights go green in October…
Gilberto Zorio belongs to a generation of Italian artists who in the mid 1960s pioneered a radical and distinguished artistic movement which later became known as Arte Povera. Through the use of often modest and humble materials, these artists posed sophisticated and profound questions about the very nature of human existence.
This will be Zorio’s first solo exhibition in the UK and will include new installations made specifically for Milton Keynes Gallery’s spaces combined with works that trace the historical points of his practice.
An illustrated catalogue with texts by Martin Holman will accompany the exhibition.
Please note there will be strobe lighting at this exhibition. Some works of art may be harmful if touched. Please supervise children at all times while visiting this exhibition.
