Is there anything funny about art? 

We are, as previously said around these fractured parts, and we do tend to repeat ourselves when under stress, getting deeper into the countdown to this year’s London Art Car Boot Fair. Always an important date on the London art calendar and a mere nineteen days to go now, it was twenty-five and before that it was twenty-nine or maybe thirty last time we checked on the (not quite so vile) countdown. We will continue to feature participating artists as we count down to the annual event that once again is happening at at Lewis Cubitt Square, Kings Cross. We did bring you the artist line back at the end of June although there’s probably been an artist or two added since then – The artist line up for one of the London Art Year’s highlights that is the Art Car Boot Fair has now been announced. Here, while we count down is some early Talking Heads footage…

I’m painting, I’m painting again
I’m painting, I’m painting again
I’m cleaning, I’m cleaning again
I’m cleaning, I’m cleaning my brain

Pretty soon now, I will be bitter
Pretty soon now, will be a quitter
Pretty soon now, I will be bitter
You can’t see it ’til it’s finished

I don’t have to prove that I am creative
I don’t have to prove that I am creative
All my pictures are confused
And now I’m going to take me to you

“David Byrne, Chris Frantz, and Tina Weymouth were alumni of the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence, Rhode Island. There, Byrne and Frantz formed a band called The Artistics in 1974. Weymouth was Frantz’s girlfriend and often provided transportation for the band. The Artistics dissolved within a year, and the three moved to New York, eventually sharing a communal loft. Unable to find a bass player in New York City, Frantz encouraged Weymouth to learn to play bass by listening to Suzi Quatro albums] They played their first gig as “Talking Heads” opening for the Ramones at CBGB on June 20, 1975″.

(There was of course a soul band called The Artistics already)

The 2025 Art Car Boot Fair is nineteen days away now – Earlybird tickets are (still) on sale now via the Fair’s website (do make sure you look at the Earlybird ticket option just underneath the regular tickets, earlybird tickets are £10, while £5 tickets that get you in later/cheaper are a little further down the page).
