Vauxhall Art Car Boot Fair
9 July 2017 12-6pm
The original in a new location. The idea is simply that the artists show up in person to flog their specially made just-for-the-day wares. It’s all run like a club where all the participants are invited by us or recommended by other booters and, unlike any other art fair, there is no financial transaction between the artist and the organisers.

The show combines photography, printmaking, painting, installation and mixed media to create a web of work from artists connected and separated by geography, language, culture, collaboration, and change. Moich Abrahams, Maureen de Silva, Sheera Jacobs, Andy Metcalf, Mehmet Mehmetoglu, Kalamun Nehar, Irini Urania Politi, Constanza Ramirez. Curated by Carlos de Lins. Private View: Thursday 6 July 6-9pm.
