Freeart Barcelona?

[martin ewen]

i've heard of this group, an arts collective who produce and admin performance arts events for clients and themselves, but can't quickly find them on google cos 'freeart' is too popular, (and because i have the attention span of a concussed goldfish)
anyone heard of them and have any info?

did you get it

Hey martin, don't know if you got it already or not, so here it is
www.freeart.com.es now I bet you're kicking yourself for not thinking of the address yourself.I haven't worked with them, but apparently they're good.

Thanks Gav

Lovely, just sent them an e-mail.
They have always struck me as a performance character/attitude based event company and their philosophic marketing always struck me as perhaps more than marketing. Plus they pay well and put great shows on and have employed the likes of Shirlie sunflower, Livingspace (who they used to physically pick up from wherevever he had fallen the night before and put him onstage with the curtain down and wake him up by having him on first and simply raising the curtain in front of a waiting crowd.) and dirty fred http://www.darlingnikkie.com/fred/.
who is not digestible at all in a north american sense but nevertheless one of the bravest street performers around.
thanks again

That bit in his show where he shoots people in the head in order to play the tune on the bottels is just hillarious !!! You should see the shit he gives to the Germans when he's performing there.
Half of them love him and half hate him, they've never heard anyone mention the war so much!!
and the bit where he pees into his own mouth and the one where he deep throats the banana and it ejaculates all over his face.All just simply genius!!
People make it your mission to see this man in action !!
Martin, try this one too www.circostrada.org
