Zürich in the winter can be cold and crisp. Some mornings are so still and super clear. Looking into the new metropolis, from our building that would soon be demolished is sureal... Soon the skyline will explode. Prime tower being ground zero of this ever expanding city. This issue came together quickly, featuring, the live fish tank jam we had at Blam Blam Blam, and a long overdue article featuring the Zürich legend and half of „One Truth“ Dr Drax. Also a small selection of photos by Zürich Photographer, Hans Gut, and a bunch of other stuff to sink your teeth into. Hope you enjoy, any feedback or ideas for articles- interviews etc, the please contact. soup@blamblamblam.ch join us on facebook Click!
So many ideas, and lines to travel, so many things happen in such a short time..... Sometimes they compound giving no space for reflection.
As we shoot fowards into the uncertainty... Breaking the boundaries of regulations, calenders and systems, to find new ways to live and express ourselves.
Sunday afternoon walk (端etlibergtill Albispass) Soup asked me to write somewords to this pic. (eyes) And so i did: ( I ) LOVE NATURE!
when i first had the id ea, to put th is event on : a live streaming art event : i thought it would be a simple task.... there are a bunch of sites now , where you can s tream events live, easy . just plug in my my sony digital cam.... andtream. s well, forget it. the hardware you need to do th is with a sony simply does not exis t. so i went out and bought the new gopro hero3. it was advertised as wifi , with direct treaming.... s again no way . live streaming onto you phone yes, but to the wwwforget it. eventually the only way was to buy a webcam. it was an emer gency solution (only with a 2 meter cable, but it got the job done::::
literally at the moment i had finished setting up for the event, i had an incid ent involving me loosing my ring finger. but you know what they say , "the show mus t go on" so at 7pm on the dot we let ose, lo thowing paint around with careless abandon... within minutes the floor became as slick, as an ice skating rink, with paint flying everywhere:::: laughter could be hear d over the muffled sound of the tereo, s that was protected inside a carton box::::
let the chaos run free::: drax, soup, ekis, snyr and bask are set ose:::: lo
i have painted at many live art events.... is thwas two th ings, the messiest and the funnist!!!!
IF YOU WANNA SEE THE EVENT, HOW IT WAS WHEN WE STREAMED IT LIVE, CLICK ON THE TV.
A LONG THREE HOUR COLOR EXPLOSION::::
after the paint session we all went back to the -vie wing lounge and enjoyed a drink or two together,- re minissing already on the paint session we had jus t been through. so many times when painting insid e you need to watch the damage you do.... is thwas a rare moment where it didnt matter the damage done. soon the house would be coming down. jus t let loose and go free. thanks to all the artis ts who came by to paint and those who helped put th is event on. this will definatley not be the las t, keep an eye on the blamag chanel::::

Ideas come and go. some ideas kick around for years, before they begin to breath....after years of making toys, with silicone molds, and pouring polyeurathane, i saw a documentary on stop motion animation. i realsied that these characters were made with silicone. it was basically flipping the method. instead of the silicone being the mold, it was now the figure. although i thought it would be easier, it turned out to be way more complex, and with alot of projects with new materials, a learning curve would be needed.
its nice to look back to the starting point, ........that is what this is. a real starting point.

Sometimes things just fall into place, all the pieces just fit perfectly, everything rolls like a dream, no stress, every one sees eye to eye, and there are never any Issues..... Ha Ha Ha, when? Never!! I started this chocolate project, (starting with choco caps) with the biggest fat-head, know it all, egoist fuck I have ever met, it was such a cool idea, art based confectionary (and cupcakes). Its a shame that most of the time, the people with the money or the facilites, have there head so far up there own ass, they choke. I was so fortunate to see this assholes true colors, before I got caught up in starting a buisness. Sometimes its just better to do it yourself, or not just do it at all. I also wonder how much longer these self-hero buisnesses survive with such dick heads running them. LOL
I had just finished setting up for the fish tank jam,and with a swing on a door frame, and it was over. The finger was on the floor, my ring had got caught on a screw, and the path of least resistance was my finger getting ripped of. It was like a movie, with the blood spitting out... I quickly wrapped the hand (with the bone sticking out) and after taking a photo, wapped the finger on ice. The ambulance and cops came quick, one taking me to the hospital, and the other taking my ring (evidence?), the doctors tried hard but there was nothing they could do, from now, I would only have nine fingers.....
my missing finger:)

i remember the first time i met dr. drax. it was AT the meeting of styles, some years ago....we were leaving as he was arriving, he was with his dog (daisy) and his gang of one truth-ers. i remember being a little intimidated when cruze introduced me. i also remember thinking just reciently how stupid this was, as i have learnt thru' the years what a nice and easy (crazy at times) super creative person he is.....
DRAX AT THE ARTHOUSE IN ACTION::::

TWO MINUTES OR LESS::: This is a new regular feature in Blamag... I had the idea for a page that features the "making of“" grafitti pieces. each issue with more..... just film yourself doing a piece, speed it up so it is under two minutes, post it on whatever video chanel you use, and then send me the link, i will include it in the next issue of blamag, and it will become a permanent part of the history of the magazine... i just threw this one up on the back of the gallery as an example, not the best but you get the idea. looking foward to seeing the results..... SEND VIDEO LINKS TO... 120@BLAMBLAMBLAM.CH

It was a rainy day, so we decided to paint inside at the arthouse... after a few hours Ekis and Dave came out of the attic completley covered with dust? After checking out the piece we realised why.... in the center of the piece (with the fluro colors) they had chipped away the stucco to expose the bricks.... :)
photography by Hans Gut::::
Taking pictures is incessantly part of my life. It‘s about telling stories, very short stories. Sometimes the Picture tells just a word, with the intention, the viewer find some other words and the word itself combines it with the given word. Another part of my photography is related with my personal understanding of streetart. For me, it means not creating art, in the streets. It‘s about reflection and transformation of my surroundings, the streets, the people, of what i see and feel around me. So I try, to give it back to the viewer and probably he can see thing in a new way or even the first time... or simply he finds some thoughts and memories. Hans Gut
