Scientist, born Hopeton Brown in Kingston, Jamaica, 1960 (sometimes known as Overton Brown),[1] was a protégé of King Tubby (Osbourne Ruddock), one of the originators of dub music.
Scientist, an elemental figure of the evolution of dub in Kingston in the 1970s and 80s, makes his way to the ICA for First Fridays. The event coincides with the opening of the exhibition, Denzil Forrester: We Culture which includes paintings that portray dub and reggae clubs where Forrester spent his nights gaining inspiration for his work.
