The ABYSSAL is the physical headquarters of the BAD BOY JESUS CITY SWIMMERS CLUB and resides within the Kunstverein bar. The BAD BOY JESUS CITY SWIMMERS CLUB is an association that anyone—swimmers and non-swimmers alike—can join free of charge. It consists of a mailing list that sends out invitations to swim together as well as readers and playlists. The club broadly functions as a metaphor for both individual and social life in the city: staying afloat or floundering, swimming with or against the stream.
