Dada Changed My Life: In February 2002 a group of artists, under the name of Foundation Kroesus, occupied the Cabaret Voltaire, the birthplace of Dada in Z"rich, 1916. Their intention was to revive this space, which is the property of a Swiss insurance company, as a cultural platform before the imminent construction of luxury flats and a pharmacy. Over the course of two months they invited artists from all over the world to participate in this effort to save the Cabaret Voltaire, and created many provocative happenings in order to draw attention to the subject, drawing much positive attention from Swiss newspapers and television. Despite all their efforts to preserve the cultural integrity of the building, the police entered the building on 2 April and kicked the artists out.

A CUBAN ADVENTURE

A Cuban Adventure starts in San Francisco, April 2003 as the Gumball Rally is about to make its way across America, in six days, covering 3000 miles. The Gumball attracts all kind of people who want to give their Ferraris and Lamborghinis a good work out, though nobody could be prepared for the Cuban Brothers. Never mind that they cannot drive or don't know much about cars, their presence and nonsense delights everybody in their wake. This is the Gumball Rally Cuban style, all filmed through the wonky lens of porn director Austrian Dave. Funny as hell. YT
