Gold, frankincense and mirth. Didn't Jimmy (or was it Bill) once say that a sense of humour was the most depressingly over-rated aspect of modern art (maybe it was Gimpo)?

Blackoff christmas in Guardian
by Stuey and Michelle 19 Nov '04

19 Nov '04

The art that stole Christmas Paul Arendt Thursday November 18, 2004 The Guardian http://www.guardian.co.uk/arts/news/story/0,11711,1353862,00.html Picture: Banksy's material Jesus, on show at Santa's Ghetto James Cauty, formerly of the KLF, is launching an assault on Christmas shopping. His gift shop, Blackoff, is taking its cue from the Government's infamous Preparing for Emergencies leaflet and selling a range of "terror aware" gifts. These include bunker-buster jigsaw puzzles (with one piece missing), limited-edition attack hankies and terror tea towels. "The gift shop becomes the place we can explore our branding ideas," says Cauty. "Cash for trash - it represents the futility and the glory of it all." But Cauty isn't the only person vying to provide 2004's most ironic Christmas shopping experience. Santa's Ghetto, the brainchild of underground screenprinters Pictures on Walls, is now in its third year, and "rallies against the commercialisation of Christmas by selling lots of stuff", according to organiser Steve Lazarides. This "stuff" includes work by Gorillaz cartoonist Jamie Hewlett, pop video director Chris Cunningham and new paintings by 3D of Massive Attack. What these shops share is a disdain for the traditional process of displaying and selling art in galleries. "It's all gear at the end of the day," says graffiti artist Banksy, whose controversial portrait of a crucified Christ laden with shopping bags will be showing at Santa's Ghetto. "Nine times out of 10, people will buy your work because it goes with the colour scheme in the kitchen and the bathroom. It's shopping." Cauty agrees: "I had an exhibition of some paintings, and I just hated it. In the end I took it all down to the Bayswater Road and hung it on the railings." Santa's Ghetto is at the Soho Bookshop, London W1, and Blackoff is at the Aquarium Gallery, London WC1. Both are open for business throughout December.

Was I the only one who actually stumbled across "3 AM Eternal" by accident last night? I was driving home in the ice and snow and skipping between channels (Melvyn Bragg discussing quantum mechanics on Radio 4, Noddy Holder playing records with Mark Radcliffe for "Children in Need" on Radio 2) when I happened to switch over to Annie Mac about 10.30 - and "3 AM Eternal" was just starting, right at the "Radio Freedom" intro (what was the other track she played, btw?) As it played, I started to notice that subconciously I was driving like Jimmy in the "Embankment" video (looking moodily into the mirror, turning the wheel in a bored fashion, etc. etc.) which probably wasn't the cleverest thing to do during the coldest night of the year! However - there was something I wanted to ask list members. Did anyone tape the whole show (I think you did Andrew, didn't you?)
