Above: Ten Weeks of Fat exhibition works 1. Bone Fat/ 2. Lipid Drip Symphony/ 3. My Fatberg Diary/ 4. Fat Space  Fatten Up by Litong Chen, Jiawe Ren, Menghua Liu and Ying ZhangFatbergs are an ecological issue explored in several projects: Tianyi Wang, Chen Qiu, Zhixin Liao and Yingying Zhu's Lipid Drip Symphony project features a rotating magnet producing a swirling flow of water that changes in speed to mimic music being played. At the same time liquid fat is dripped into the water, slowly turning into a fatberg. The project explores the link between musical rhythm, electromagnetic rotation and fat structures. My Fatberg Diary by Hsin-yi Chen, Xuanyi Wang, Jiayan Tang and Weichen Liu breaks down a fatberg into its constituent parts, which the team explains examines 'the relationship between human consumption, waste and regeneration'. Fat Space by Yuting Han, Shuqi He, Jiayi Jiang, Wenwen Tian looks at fat's changing characteristics and presents them in four ways: as a fossil, as a calorie instrument, drip painting and a monument. The team explain: 'Each expression represents a chapter of fat's existence, telling the story of coexistence between fat and people. Fat Space uses fat as a conduit, enabling the audience to experience the material's dynamism and uniqueness, and convey the existential meaning of fat itself.'

NB: only Goldsmiths' students and staff can visit the project open house on campus.

Above: Ten Weeks of Fat exhibition works 1. Bone Fat/ 2. Lipid Drip Symphony/ 3. My Fatberg Diary/ 4. Fat Space
Students from Goldsmiths, University of London's MA Design: Expanded Practice course are showing a series of artworks inspired by fat.
The Ten Weeks of Fat exhibition features the work of nine groups of students as well as a performative lecture, DJ set and documentary screening.
Bone Fat by Jiaxun Xu, Meng Li Jing Xia and Yuhan Guo explores ways to educate people on what causes osteoporosis and its links to high bone marrow fat. The interactive piece shows animal fat changing and morphing as a way to demonstrate how osteoporosis changes bone marrow. Litong Chen, Jiawe Ren, Menghua Liu and Ying Zhang's Fatten Up project imagines fat as the materialisation of human desire which grows on the surface of human skin in a distorted form and used as monetary and social currency.
