VENICE IN VENICE – SPECIAL EDITION OF SWELL ZINE: One special edition featuring the artists in VinV and the work presented. Oral Histories by Tibby Rothman. Essays by C.R.Stecyk, interviews by Steve Olson. All original posters by Jim Evans, original photographs by C.R.Stecyk. Very SPLASHY ads. Fold Out Posters of the Super Heroes: Ed Moses, Laddie John Dill, Billy Al Bengston, Larry Bell, and Peter Alexander. Original art by Jim Evans and CR Stecyk — and a special essay by Jacqueline Miro and Jim Evans.
This first issue of Swell tells a story: through oral histories, images and subterfuge. To depict a world that shaped specific arts, a world in which advances in technology, music, product design, architecture, graphics and the Pacific Ocean, vast linear horizon and light conspired to create movements that fed off each other, physically, visually and phenomenologically. SURFING in California was an urban pursuit, before skating took it to the actual concrete. The setting was a derelict beach, an abandoned pier, and a city in decline. The period, between wars. To blur the boundaries between fact and fiction, we conjure the image of the Super Hero, the patrimony of both art and surf.
