HAPPENINGS

The Art World belongs in a museum. It's chic. That's sad.
Ideas like "esthetique relationelle” are intellectualized & bourgeois.
My goal is simple: an honest release - the very opposite of snobbery.
I believe true creation is to produce raw animal alchemy & human electricity.
I can best describe what I do as an installation where the main act is the public.

orchestrated chaos

Our projects usually start as experiments.
Some become "products" - like festivals - crazy!

We push in all directions, don't know why, we just try.
Sometimes, suddenly, what we do makes perfect sense.

never-liked-you-anyway

Expressions like "Orchestrated Chaos", "It's Happening Right Now", "Suave Punk"
"Alle Kan Være Med", "Time To Get Personal" and "Welcome To The Jungle"
have appeared, stuck on and helped shape our rowdy & friendly identity.

Good Luck Everybody.
