The Art Car Boot Fair is back by popular demand and already gearing up to be another classic day of art and frivolity. The Art Car Boot Fair debuted in London in the summer of 2004 and had an art-loving throng of over 3000 people scrabbling over a staggering array of unique offerings including Gavin Turk’s Pop Art Road Kill, Bob and Roberta Smith’s Concrete Rubbings, Richard Clegg’s scary-but-kitsch ‘Snow Dooms’ and Showroom Dummies’ limited edition car blankets. Punters could buy ‘Compliments and Flattery’, spin a pot or make a wager at the Omni 'Escalado' stakes while Pam Hogg, Hitman Hearn and Ross Allen spun the discs and the Whoopee Club thrilled with their special programme of cheeky Sunday afternoon burlesque.

Supported by Vauxhall Motors and produced by independent curators Karen Ashton and Helen Hayward the 2006 event will feature over 45 pitches, special on-car and in-car art commissions, live DJ’s, performance, films, organic barbecue, a paella party, chilled drinks and a multitude of art wares spilling out of car boots. It’s the summer art event not to miss.

NEW! for 2006: King Street Rocks – The Salon Saloon – live literary in-car entertainment from the backseat of a luxury saloon with a line up from Andrea Mason’s legendary nights of culture and debauchery … Phil Dirtbox, beat poet and crooner extraordinaire hosting from a Routemaster bus … THE BOOTY STAGE featuring Richard Dyer, arts writer by day, poet and blues harmonica player by night (and Sunday afternoons), the sensational Mr Ted as ‘Piggy Lee’, some real life lady doctors, nurses and teachers performing their sexy-amateur Tease-maids routine, a sumptuous organic barbecue from star chef in waiting James Knight, …

... deliciously sartorial cocktails from Fashion East (no half measures) and boots full of unbelievably witty and compelling art works including: More Snow Dooms – humorous scenes of pathos housed in everyday glass objects … Zoe Griffith’s ‘Harvest of Art’ … ‘Savage School’ text fireworks from Art lab…Ian Dawson’s coolly curated Fridge Art (it’s all the rage in Iceland), flowing silk scarves for summer from the inimitable Abigail Lane for Showroom Dummies, limited edition mugs and fag-butt jewellery from Sarah Lucas & Olivier Garbay, Cedric Christie’s super-slogan t-shirts.

Get paid to have your portrait sketched in ink by Hadrian Pigott, start a garden with Sophy Rickett’s artfully selected seeds…buy into Reza Aramesh’s ‘Dreams Money Can Buy’ by tearing a sheet of paper off a beautifully wrapped up lady at a pound a go, visit a real fifties holiday camp in a caravan, make it day to remember with some P.I.E (Paradise Island Enterprises) souvenirs, get a ‘Best in Show’ Rosette Multiple for someone you love, purchase a Genuine oil painting from James Cooper and stock up on Swedish Blonde’s Old Broad Bean, aka our dear old Queen, plus much much more!

Come over to the car park behind 93 Feet East (150 Brick Lane), bring loads of cash and take advantage of the chance to buy real limited edition works from well-known artists at car boot fair prices – it’s better than Stella McCartney at Hennes!

The Art Car Boot Fair – the most fun you’ll have out of the back of a car since filthy adolescence!
