This weekend, Margate's Turner Contemporary gallery (or rather, its car park) is holding the annual Vauxhall Art Car Book Fair – further marking the town's ascendant cultural status
作为艺术家特蕾西·埃明(Tracey Emin)和詹姆·特纳(JMW Turner)的故居,肯蒂什海滨小镇马盖特(Margate)近年来一直忙于把自己打造成一个艺术中心,大批年轻的创意人士和工匠成倍地涌入这里,创造了越来越受赞誉的艺术场景。进一步加强了该镇作为英国不太可能出现的新文化之都的地位,今年8月的银行假日沃克斯豪尔艺术汽车展将首次在特纳当代艺术展上开店。
第一次沃克斯豪尔艺术汽车启动博览会是由凯伦阿什顿在2004年举办,试图重新引入一点夏季阳光和轻浮伦敦日益增长的商业艺术领域。将汽车靴销售和艺术博览会结合起来,这一活动就成了一年一度的活动,艺术家们把头发放下来,制作特刊供购买,并直接与公众接触。在马盖特举办兼收并蓄的交易会,为艺术爱好者、日间旅行者和度假者提供(天气允许)在海边度过一个温馨的下午。
今年,博览会拥有70多名艺术家的阵容-既有成熟的,也有未来的-以及最初伦敦活动的亮点。艺术家和摄影师,如特蕾西·艾敏,兰金,彼得·布莱克爵士和道基·华莱士,都有一些不太知名的当地名字,许多人都参加了这次活动,这要归功于艺术委员会的拨款今年的版本作品包括杰里米·戴勒(Jeremy Deller)和弗雷泽·马盖律治(Fraser Maggeridge)的“不敬的英语魔法游艇”(IdficationGuide),波莉·摩根(Polly Morgan)的一些有趣的可怕标本,以及马特·科利肖(Mat Collishaw)的迷人和令人不悦的反馈。
无论是否有艺术头脑,这个交易会都会为每个人提供一些东西。活动伙伴沃克斯豪尔汽车公司正在展示一批古董汽车。游客被鼓励进入他们的狗在长廊的表演,或在一个经典的沃克斯豪尔万岁的照片拍摄,他们都接近靴子销售本身。音乐剧、歌舞表演、时装秀、针织泳装时装游行和北约露营车转向针孔摄像机,完成了一个不容错过的八月银行假期的行程。

The Kentish seaside town has been busy establishing itself as an artistic hub, an influx of young creatives and artisans exponentially growing what is an increasingly lauded arts scene – a perfect setting for this year's fair. Pictured: Vic Reeves
