COMPILER*02 FROM HERE TO THE OCEAN is
curated by Daniel Baumann, Switzerland, and Champion Zero, Los
Angeles, who have gathered a line of internationally acclaimed
artists to participate in the project that is this time focused
on 'the sea' as a place of nostalgia for a pure experience of
a perfect nature: a paradise for youth subculture, an abyss for
numerous cliches and a space for absolute beauty. FROM HERE TO
THE OCEAN is an homage to George Greenough, a key figure of surf
history and its most consequent outsider.
Compiler*02 is made possible by Scheidegger-Thommen-Stiftung,
Swiss Federal Office of Culture/Sitemapping, Tweaklab and is co-produced
by the Swiss Institute.
The participating artists are: OLAF BREUNING, TRISHA DONNELLY,
DREW HEITZLER, EMILIE HALPERN, HANSPETER HOFMANN, MARIE JAGER,
SHAUN GLADWELL, LOS SUPER ELEGANTES, HANS WEIGAND/HEIMO ZOBERNIG.
LOS SUPER ELEGANTES, who are
also featuring on the DVD, will be giving one of their spectacular
live performances. Due to their incredible ability to mix original
music with theatrical stage improvisations, Los Super Elegantes
are among the most sought after live bands in the US at the moment.
"Globe-trotting emissaries of trash in translation, a refreshing
brand of cross-cultural misprision... Talk about a surprise vantage
on the touchy elisions of imperialist modernism!" ARTFORUM
SERVICES
(ATOC) is a brand new project from two veterans of
the NYC underground and "non" personality superstars
of their own right, brought to you from ATOC that introduced bands
such as Scissor Sisters, The Ones and Waldorf.
With generous support from SWATCH and BELEZA PURA
