Books We Wouldn't Steal: Big Geezers Book & DVD Out Now

geezheader.jpg
In August of 2007 a road trip happened. Well many road trips happened actually but one specifically was much closer to our hearts, The Big Geezers Tour by Carhartt. We saw numerous members of our family traveling together on a tour bus for three weeks across 5500 kilometers. What could you do with your friends on a tour bus for three weeks across 5500 kilometers? You'd like to imagine, we'd like to see. But for now we have the privilege of getting the in-depth & behind-the-scenes story on what these Geezers did in August of 2007. The Big Geezers Tour Book and DVD have just been released and it is not one to be missed.

From Carhartt: "In August 2007, Carhartt invited a bunch of the Big Geezers to go on a 3 week road trip: 5500 km in a nightliner. Along the way, the group was joined by new friends and old faces as the speed increased and the good vibes spread.

Copenhagen, Oslo, Warsaw, Budapest, Vienna and Bratislava – in each city the Big Geezers painted inside a Carhartt store and outside in a public space. In both they were free to use the walls as they wanted. These painting sessions were also free; performances, which were open to the public. Art in action, and at every stop there was a great spirit of community and celebration for imagination, feelings that easily transferred to the hundreds of people who came in touch with Big Geezers
on this trip.

A year later, the paint is still on the walls for people to see and feel, but to have a look at the entire experience you’ll need the Book and film documenting the journey. See the details in the process; the differences in cities, colors and the shared love for painting."

WITHOUTYOUBABY

In an attempt to disrupt the haphazard collection of archived videos that YouTube has become, artist duo Comenius Roethlisberger and Admir Jahic transformed the visual (and virtual) language of "broadcasting" into a physical medium by producing illustrations on heavy handmade paper and recreating virtual references by allowing elemental art materials to do what they do best and add to the confusion.
