Initiated by the artists Jim Avignon and Fehmi Baumbah and meant to scrutinise the stress ratio of subcultures on the one side and the industries on the other, by now, the event series “Who is Afraid of Friendly Capitalism“ is often mentioned to be the opponent of a mainly profit-orientated cultural industry.
After numerous happenings in the German capital as well as a guest performance for the Goethe Institute of Athens and the Swiss Fumeto Festival, Avignon and Baumbach will now make their way to Hamburg, to host their lounge at the gallery heliumcowboy artspace and to again mingle together club and gallery into a happening-like organic whole.
Again, almost famous personalities in art and music will meet obscure guests from all over the world. All together will create a turbulent night – regardless of the consequences. While many event series like to combine likewise artists within their line up, the “Friendly Capitalism Lounge” always invites versatile protagonists. On November 19th, the following members are invited: Jon Burgerman (GB), Guillaumit (F), Jule K. (D), Eleanor Marston (D), Roman Klonek (D), Jojo Ensslin (D), Dasha Rychkova (RUS), Francoise Cactus (F), Frau Kraushaar (D), Christian von Werner (D), James Din A4 (D) und Kate Hate (GB).
From collages, woodcarvings, illustrations to recession fashion and 25minute-band-sessions of the (Jim Avignon and Jon Burgerman), Jens Friebs and Frank Spilker, Chris Imler and Nova Huta – the “Friendly Capitalism Lounge Vol. 13“ at the heliumcowboy artspace again promises to be truly eventfully. Further more we are looking forward to acoustical impacts by DJ Pascal Fuhlbrügge, madame d’oreen and Francoise Cactus.
So don’t miss this rare event and let’s do as the initiators suggest: “Get off those money socks and jump into recession fashion – the ’Friendly Capitalism Lounge’ celebrates the end of capitalism we used to know.”
