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!

Tag Team SEMIFINAL 2

Secret Wars Malmö went clubbing and it was a night to remember..

Kajplats, every teenager in the mid 90's favourite joint, was the venue of choice. Nostalgic but also very suitable, located right in the middle of Malmö's old dockyard. The official body count landed on 764 people through the door and the atmosphere was electric when artists Ossian, NEZ, LIMPO and S.I.C took to the stage. Rob Love and dj Babydoll pumped the music while the two teams fought out one of the toughest battles to date.

After 90 minutes of splashing ink it was all up to the crowd and the two judges..
Crowd's Vote: The crowd went mental for team SICTU and wouldnt stop screaming!

Kathrine, a.k.a Mami, Danish all-in-one-deluxe: Studio Seved Masta Chillaz

Kristoffer: SICTU

SICTU vs. Studio Seved Masta Chillaz 2-1

So the clean style of SSMC was beaten by SICTU's more dynamic composition. Time to look forward to the Grand Final on the 6th of June!


A very big thanks to: Studentkåren Malmö, Lina, the DJs, the judges, Diego, Elvan, Yes-man, Edding, everyone else who helped out and of course everyone who showed up and helped us to partyyy!!

Tag Team SEMIFINAL 1

What a blast!!

Secret Wars is definitely back 2009 with a serious vengeance!
Mad party with over a 1000 people through the door and a very exciting battle between two teams that really went for each other!

Critically acclaimed comic book artists El Granero & Karolina the Cowgirl went blow for blow with the laid back duo of Ekwe & Georg, a heavy metal bass player and a fine art painter (who didn't even know each other a week ago!?)
The battle was hard fought with visual punches flying back and forth across the board.
When it was time to decide a winner it felt like it could go either way..

Crowd's Vote: The more polished artwork of Ekwe & Georg turned out to be the crowd's favourite.

Judge 1 - Simon Silfverberg, artist and designer: Ekwe & Georg -"It was close!"

Judge 2 - Lina Hedman, head of Malmö Uni's student union: Ekwe & GeorgSo 3-0 to Ekwe & Georg who will contest the Grand Final on the 6th of June. We will find out who their opponents will be on the 16th May..

After the battle the party continued in true Secret Wars spirit until 6 in the morning when the bar ran out of beer for the second time! DJs Simón de la Onda, akai one and Romme did a world tour of music styles and had the dance floor jumping for eight hours straight!
The police stopped by at one point (and liked what they saw!). Max Peezay (!) swung by for a energy filled guest app and Swedish folk hero Timbuktu also had a little fiddle with the mic.
Amazing night!
Thanks and see you in two weeks - 16th May y'alllllll!!!!

Special thanks to...The four brave artists, the three DJs, the two judges, Viktor, Rob Love, Micke, Sonny, Edding and Max Peezay/AllOutDubstep - Big Up!
