Art Brut played an excellent set at the Voodoo Rooms a few weeks ago, 96 minutes including various long mid song monologues. One of those monologues was the story of getting escorted in to the basement of the Van Gogh Museum for licking a painting.
The next week we were at two Ghanaian art shows in Edinburgh: El Anatsui Scottish Mission Book Depot Keta at the Talbot Rice Gallery and Ibrahim Mahama Songs about Roses at the Fruitmarket.
Maybe Art Brut put the idea in my head, but I felt really connected to both shows and, yes, I wanted to lick them…
Anyway, Modern art makes me want to rock out! And I’m not being ironic!
