Tracey Emin has illustrated four of the new Fiat 500s cars in her highly recognisable signature style to celebrate art related events taking place during October 2007.
In her commission for Fiat 500, the cars take Emin’s work quite literally out of the gallery and onto the street. As such, the cars have become mobile canvases — and Emin has created the first ‘moving’ exhibition of its kind.
The fleet of four cars have individually been named as:
• You go around me
• Love is Love
• Dark Dark Dark
• I told you not to
— and will be seen around significant London locations and art-related events throughout the next week.
One car in this series was auctioned at the Contemporary Art Auction at Phillips de Pury in Victoria on 13th Oct. Proceeds from the sale went to Emin’s chosen charity, PEAS — to raise funds for a school library in Uganda. Additional funds will also help establish ongoing Fiat Art Projects in London. The project has been curated by Artwise Curators (www.artwisecurators.com) and Beat Capital. More info found on www.fiat.co.uk

This is a selection of photos taken in Banagher Co.Offaly Ireland during a ‘friendly’ darts match between a group of locals and a dutch group who travelled to Banagher for the weekend.The day was a great success and it concluded with an ‘auction’ for the dutch players clogs. The result was that over 400 euros was raised for Brother Brian Johnsons School project in Kenya. The Dutch players then generously pledged to match the amount raised and therefore over 800 euros are winging its way to Brother Brian! Well done to all concerned!
