JONATHAN MEESE, Swing your Thing – Bergkapelle Mount Everest, 2009
drawing on cover, double LP, vinyl
signed, dated
edition unknown
not available
Musically, “Swing Your Thing” is a stunning mix of New Wave in the spirit of early Atatak and Zick Zack releases, exotic Sci-Fi soundtracks and raw Techno in the vein of Electronicat. “Bergkapelle Mount Everest” is the second project by artists Jonathan Meese and Tim Berresheim, originally released as three-sided LP in 2003. This time Meese’s lyrics relate to the world of the mountains in an almost radioplay-like piece of music.

Rirkrit Tiravanija’s work defies media-based description, as his practice combines traditional object making, public and private performances, teaching, and other forms of public service and social action. With his print ‘A Moment of Life’ the artist shows his sympathy with the ideas of Guy Debord and the Situationist movement. In 2005 among other statements the artist stated:
“…I am interested in no destination
I am interested in constructing new destinations
I am interested in “a moment of life concretely and deliberately constructed by the collective organization of a unitary ambience and a game of events” (Internationale Situationniste, no. 1)
I am interested in the construction of a situation that does not necessarily amount to very much
I am interested in…”.
