Hendrik Beune, Director of AHA MEDIA attended Pacificthorn Launch Party
| ::Pacificthorn:: Spring/ Summer 09 street release – Fall/ Winter 09 preview
Following up our private launch event last week, the Pacificthorn showroom is now open and will be hosting a public reception and preview of our seasonally self titled fall line (the Fall) and street release of our spring line (ATLANTIS). The concept for our spring collection is informed by Christian Nicolay’s gallery exhibit of the same name, which provocatively questions the loss of personal freedoms and examines the potential fall of the American nation-state in the contemporary milieu. From its initial reception on Nov .08 at Winsor Gallery, the ATLANTIS exhibit has extended itself to a variety of expressions, each differing only slightly between venue, This June ATLANTIS finds itself uniting with its cross referenced clothing line. Featured artist Christian Nicolay , extends himself, producing a third and final installation in conjunction with the Pacificthorn showroom tying the very conceptualization of the spring line together in cross reference to his gallery project. -Neal Nolan Pacificthorn.com

Spring/ Summer 09 street release – Fall/ Winter 09 preview::
Thursday, June 4,
7pm – 12am
110 E. Hastings at Columbia.
Please see artist’s statement (attached) in compendium to this event.
ATLANTIS.
Christian Nicolay.
2009
ATLANTIS is a protest of the erosion of the US Constitution, which was formed as a safeguard against tyranny by the Government.
ATLANTIS deconstructs American Flags and reconstructs them into art objects and not willingly destroyed or desecrated for that purpose.
ATLANTIS draws attention to the pitfalls of the globalization, the instability of the international markets and corrupt financial institutions.
ATLANTIS represents not only the fall of a great nation, but also the fall of basic rights and freedoms.
ATLANTIS combines ubiquitous and mundane materials such as ‘Made in China’ labels, plastic toys and USD One-Dollar Bills with the intensely symbolic American flag. The subsequent re-presentation is a timely commentary on national self-image and its inherent fragility.
ATLANTIS represents the global economic crisis we are currently in and “change” needed to stay afloat and navigate through troubled waters.
Not all is lost,
because hope floats.
the war on terror,
is the war on your freedom
fighting terrorism
by creating it
less they forget
we’ll remind.
