Old Truman Brewery, Brick Lane, Whitechapel, E1 6QL

How Much: Free!
In art world, as much as in music world, the quest is always on for 'the next big thing'. Everybody is desperate to get there first. This means you get lots of rubbish art championed by rubbish galleries because they think they're doing something really new, different, alternative, edgy or whatever.

Not interested? Well check the Spoonfed Culture Editor's inbox - it's full to bursting with press releases for the worst bits of old dross you could possibly call art and hawk to Saatchi. Have some sympathy people!

Anyway, some guys are actually really good at spotting emerging talent and two of them (Zavier Ellis and Simon Rumley) have curated a fair called 'The Future Can Wait' at the Old Truman Brewery this week.

It's the project's second year and has work by 48 contemporary artists including a couple of big names (Mark McGowan, Gordon Cheung) alongside some of the cream of emerging talent (Nadine Feinson, Gavin Nolan).

This is guaranteed to be really brilliant. You might even see 'the next big thing'...

14-18.10.09.
