From 20.00hrs/ ATZARÓ
EXPO: 8th-20th August
Ibiza, August 2011 (FIX Ibiza).- August 2011 (FIX Ibiza). Most events worth their salt take time to establish themselves on the map of Ibiza. Then, there are those that just work from day one. URBAN IN IBIZA, the art-fashion-music-style fusion is clearly of the latter breed. As it heads into its third year, URBAN IN IBIZA and the people behind it are already gearing themselves for what promises to be, yet again, one of the firm highlights of the Ibiza Summer Season.
As the concept continues to grow, so too does the URBANization of Ibiza. First launched in 2009 by Paul Dizzy Saunders with collaboration from the offset from one of the UK’s most established urban artists, Tom Inkie Bingle, the initial idea to present the hybrid exhibition of street art, music and fashion seemed alien to many on an island of electronica, and there were those who doubted it would make much of an impact on the Ibiza calendar. But impact it did, with Sant Joan’s adorable agroturismo Atzaró, packed to the gills with graffiti and street art enthusiasts of all ages and nationalities.
ART Now, three years down the line and Saunders is back with an even bigger showcase of urban contemporary art from artists including Goldie, Alec Monopoly, Liliwenn, David Walker, Chu, George Morton-Clark, Xenz, Kid Acne, Ben Allen and Ben Slow, amongst many, many others.
Once again this year, live painting will play a crucial part in the event with Inkie, Zeus and Fin Dac forming part of that team.
The collective of more than 20 artists will be exhibiting their work at Atzaró from the 8th til 20th of August, offering collectors the opportunity to purchase their desired pieces. On the night itself, buyers will also have the opportunity to partake in the silent auction.
Prices range from 150€ - 10,000€.
MUSIC Providing this year’s soundtrack, welcome back DANSETTE JUNIOR, whose debut appearance at Urban in Ibiza in 2010 had the crowd quite literally begging for more. The brainchild of singer/producer/songwriter Will Hunt, Dansette Junior have certainly been working it since their last performance at Urban In Ibiza, with a huge number of summer festival performances under their belt, as well as being highlighted as XFM’s Eddy Temple- Morris’ favourite band of 2010.
Also on the bill, it’s CARPETFACE + AUDIBLE, a hip-hop-happening duo from UK, who come armed with a refreshingly upbeat and entertaining mc/beatbox/scratching/live looping and percussion set over original backing tracks. Old School or No School!
On the decks- hang on to your sun-hats- headliner ARTHUR BAKER, best known for his work with the Godfather of HipHop himself, Afrika Bambaataa and New Wave meets electronica legends, New Order, will be making one of his only Ibiza appearances this summer. He’ll be joined by DJ Samir, Yuniq, Shovell + Twizzy so dancing shoes are most definitely advised…
FASHION Making the al fresco runway in the beautiful grounds of Atzaró look even more than gorgeous, FELDER + FELDER bring their latest collection to the island for its debut outing in Ibiza. The London based fashion label by twin sisters Daniela and Annette Felder has developed a cult following in a matter of only a few years, with a signature style a feminine rock and roll aesthetic, which was quickly embraced by singers and actresses, including Rihanna, Gwyneth Paltrow, Florence and the Machine and Allison Mosshart.
Added to that, Urban in Ibiza is pleased to bring SASHA MOON back to its catwalk to present her latest collection. If last year is anything to go by, expect style and sexiness with a side order of sass…
THE PROMOTER Commenting on the overall event, bossman Dizzy Saunders said that “In a typical Urban in Ibiza move, what we’ve done for 2011 is to bring back the best from last year and add in some super new elements to the event. We want to show both sides of the coin, the established artists and not so established.. the art exhibition this year is really looking good right now; we have a list of artists that quite honestly, it would be hard to beat. And that goes for the music as well as the art; a legend like Arthur Baker playing alongside a new talent like Twizzy? Bring it on…”.
