TAG TEAM FINAL


Its all over!

What a crazy night! 700 people gathered out by the sea to watch the grand Secret Wars Malmö final and dance until the sun came back up.

SICTU vs. EBONY and IVORY

Both teams were hampered by a dusty board but still managed to blast some killer artwork. Got to take the forces of nature into consideration when battling outdoors..


Ebony and Ivory's clever piece had the guys themselves skinning one of their opponents and forcing the other to make shoes out of the skin. Team SICTU also chose to depict all four finalists.. LIMPO drew himself as a Godzilla character, climbing the Turning Torso whilst carrying Georg, and with S.I.C about to castrate him.


Judge 1 - Jimmy Wallin, comic book artist: SICTU

Crowd's vote: SICTU

Judge 2 - Felipe Villagran, artist: SICTU

3-0 to SICTU!!


Well done all artists. A tough battle that was very enjoyable to watch.

After the champions were crowned the party kicked off for real! First party people arrived at 21:00 and the last people left at 06:30. The sunrise was amazing and the five djs went through every music style its possible to dance to. Truly a great night!
This concludes the 2009 team tournament...but stay tuned cus Secret Wars and Smutsiga Södern will be back sooner than you think!


Big Thanks to Fredrik, Viktor, Filip, Morgan, Karin, Sebastian, The DJs: Fructoso Diiyay, Rome, Rob Love, Hud, akai One, Reebok, Impala and everyone who came out and helped us close this Secret Wars season in style!

Battle Location! Sssssshhhhh...

OK!
Time to say AbraKaDaBra and reveal the secret location..

Ljudvallen/Grytan/Musikkullarna/Ljudgropen
Four names, same place.

How to get there..
Its basically by the sea in the north part of Scaniaparken. For those of you not familiar with Västra Hamnen - this is the easiest route:
Bo01 > Djuphavsbadet > Volleybollplaner > Stor kulle med gräs på.


(If you are coming from the central station or a certain party boat you should go through the old Kockums area...takes 10 min on foot)

soon.... (city slickers)

The Secret Wars Malmö team are busy setting up THE party of the summer as we speak. We open the (non-existing) gates at 22:00 tomorrow night and we don't close them until your thirst for partying is quenched!

If you live in Malmö or Lund you can check us out today in CITY, page 24!

MashUp Success

The Secret Wars Freestyle MashUp at Studio Seved turned out very nicely indeed!

Around 70 people turned up in Sofielund to watch live art, buy raffle tickets and take part in the auction.


The seven artists created twelve collaboration pieces, each one crazier than the other.
The auction was an exciting affair with the bids bouncing off the gallery walls like rubber bullets.
In the end all the art found new happy homes.. Thanks to Vladimir, Fredde, Ida, Andreas, Markus, Daniel and especially Niklas for turning their wallets inside out - All money was split evenly between the artists!

Featured artists: Ossian, S.I.C, Georg, Pistolina, Ekwe, Ikkyro and LIMPO

Thanks to Studio Seved, Edding for supplying pens and all who attended!
