ART AND THE BOUNCY BANKER: The International Association of Astronomical Artists

The Bruxist Collective's take on Art and (as Alfred Jarry might put it) P'finance.

A numerically dyslexic artist (and reluctant consumer) shares his dearth of financial wisdom and resulting frustrations with his Bank Manager. Read personal letters from the elusive Art to his even more elusive Bank Manager. See a comic rendition of a Day In The Life Of The Bouncy Banker. Art struggles to make sense of the senseless as the Authorities of Finance wobble but never quite fall down. Full of hot air they float above it all! When they bounce it is with impunity! Why are there no Remorseful Bankers? Can Art and Finance ever coexist? Do you have a Blue Chip on your shoulder?

When bankers get together they talk about Art. When artists get together they talk about money. Oscar Wilde

The International Association of Astronomical Artists

I admit it. I'm going off topic-nothing whatsoever to do with the current financial crisis or imaginative offspins thereof. But there really is such an association, and association is what this is all about. That said http://iaaa.org tends to concentrate on paintings of space and space shuttles from what I gather. I wonder if they plan to do any shows on inner space, voids, astronomical wealth, stratospheric greed? Now that would be interesting. Greed unchecked might just drive us all to seek out a new planet to live on
