Welcome to the
What do you need to know?
Working with fact, fiction, public perception, official information and occasional humour, The Nuclear Information Centre (NIC) is a deliberately quasi-official sounding organisation and nomadic visitor centre, established in 2022 by artist Nic Pehkonen as a partially depersonalised yet creatively fertile space through which to share his practice. At a time when talk of a so-called new nuclear golden age is running in parallel with the challenge of managing our existing atomic legacies and ongoing geo-political nuclear tensions, the overriding aim of the NIC is to keep a curious and critical eye on the UK’s past, present and future atomic activities within the wider context of our cumulative, global nuclear footprint. What else do you need to know?
Although the NIC is primarily a vehicle through which to share personal research and creative output it is also very much open to potential collaborative working so if this is something you feel you might like to explore, please contact Nic in the first instance through Nuclear Information Centre enquiries.
You may also observe NIC activities on Instagram, Vimeo and Soundcloud.
