Featuring the likes of Laylah Ali, Hamad Butt, Yinka Shonibare, Eric Wesley and Mario Ybarra Jr, Alien Nation is a funky little mash up currently on show at the ICA. Curated by John Gil, Jens Hoffmann and Gilane Tawadros, and co-produced by the ICA and the Institute of International Visual Arts, the exhibition ties together sci-fi, race and art. Swinging back in time in a kitsch but cultured manner, it includes a collection of original old school film posters from the ‘50s, archive films, and works by twelve contemporary artists (including those mentioned above), presenting interpretations of ‘otherness’ by way of sculpture, film, photography and multi-media. Alien Nation is showing at the ICA, The Mall, SW1, from 17 Nov 2006 - 14 Jan 2007. Telephone: +44 (0)20 7930 0493
