Beamclub #13 will be hosted by Nathaniel Mellors. About Nathaniel: “Then there was Giantbum by Nathaniel Mellors. This somewhat alarming if not actually insanitary “video installation with animatronic sculpture” entails a journey through a felt-lined room, where a bunch of people are filmed rehearsing a play about being stuck inside God’s bottom.” (Adrian Searle writes in the Guardian).

Entry is 2,50.
