Cars and art go brush in hand. You only have to think of numerous Minis, that, in the 60s, and having not learning their lessons, repeated in the 70's, leading designers of the hour grafitti'd over. And that robotically-armed artiste that scrawls Gallic non-charm over the characterless Scenic in the crap Ren-ART ad. And what about the jalopy of choice of many a homosexual - the Smart ForFour - and its brochure-sickening copy that boasts of its brightly coloured interchangeable panels. Poncy artistic non-merit for the sake of it. oh, and real paintsmiths such as Hockney, Fuchs, Warhol and one of my heroes of the Pop Art movement, Lichtenstein, daubing already 'work of art' Beemers with their own flimsy interpretations of speed, scenery and insides worn on the outsides.
Brilliant.
Well, now little known Chinese blank-canvas-spoiler Cai Guo-Qiang has got in on the act.
To coincide with the visit of the Chinese Leader of the planets largest landmass - China - Seattle Art Museum - Seattle - has bored the listening few by announcing their acquisition of a dramatic new installation by said arty chap.
Pretentiously entitled "Inopportune; Stage One" to confuse anyone with a proper job, Guo-Qiang's automotively artistic jumble features full size Ford's tumbling through space amid starbursts of LED lights. And will be suspended along the length of the Museums lobby when it opens to the public. Which is something to look forward to.
If you're either living in Seattle and/or suffer from artism.
Admittedly, visually it is undoubtedly stunning. Having already been shown at a contemporary art surround in Massachusetts previously, it has the sheer scale and mystifying power of presence to wow the grunge-gullible citizens of the capital of slack, Seattle . There's 9 Ford's in all, dangling artistically from the ceiling that appear to catapult into a time-lapse car smash; courtesy of clever lighting and the simplicity of perspective. Cai himself describes his work best; "*$%%*£+@?%£!!**^++^"!))$?@+". Which, if my language antenna has picked up the right frequency says something like; "Similar to freeze-frames at a point in time, 9 cars make the story of 1".
See where a private education can get you?
Not content with hanging entry-level exec Ford's from some dodgy ceiling plaster, our friend with creative licence goes one step further by documenting a car as it explodes. A feat, achieved without the collaboration of Basque separatists, forms an accompanying video to the main exhibit, and was shot in New York 's Times Square . It will be showcased in an adjoining gallery. Alongside the somewhat burnt-out wreckage of the actual car used. A make and model yet to be identified by relatives or forensics, that was said to 'look pretty' as it blew itself to smithereens in the name of art.
Cai is known for his penchant for involving gunpowder in his defining works. Considered by many to be a Chinese invention, it's a trademark effect incorporated or hinted at in many of his most memorable studies.
Quoteheaven.co.uk's trademark, used time and time again, is the study of the letters C,H,E,A,P in conjunction with their highly prized motor insurance work Quoteheaven.co.uk. Hallowed be thy art.
