Thank you!

Thanks to all who showed up on Saturday for our third meeting. Special thanks to Michael Blasi (www.michaelblasi.com) and Penny Young (www.pennyyoungo.com) for allowing us to discuss their work. We also did a couple of speed crits with Josh Levine and Autumn Harrison.

Thanks to Happy for hosting!

Looking forward to the next meeting, sometime in November. It's great having such an intelligent core group and seeing new faces each time.

See you soon!

H.A.C.K. #3 - Speed Crits at Happy

Hollywood Artists Critical Kollective:

Crit group next Saturday Oct. 9 at Happy (3:00pm). Anyone interested in being a victim? Let me know, I need two bodies to bring two works...Also, for Paper Trail artists I'm considering doing speed crits for anyone in the show who has work up. 5 min timed crits. Could be fun?

Give me your feedback.

Thanks! Paul

H.A.C.K. #2 Thanks!

Thanks to all who came out to Glendale today! It was a beautiful afternoon with a group of 15 or so thoughtful and intelligent artists and art lovers. Special thanks to Sophia Allison , Autumn Harrison and Li 'n Lee for giving us the opportunity to talk about their work. It was a great two hours of discussion.

If you've not seen the show, it's worth the hop, skip and jump over to Glendale. Here's a nice review:

What the Heck is H.A.C.K?

H.A.C.K. (Hollywood Artists Critical Kollective) is a safe haven for visual artists in need of honest and direct feedback in a city full of fame, fakes and frauds.

We meet each month and pick 2-3 artists who want their work (1 painting, drawing, sculpture, video) picked apart, talked about and turned inside-out. Attendees must be prepared to talk about art; artists showing work must eat crow. Anyone is invited to attend whether you live in Hollywood or not. Artists should have a current body of work and be actively making art. College students are welcome.
Attendees must be respectful of artist and artists must be respectful of attendees. We encourage a free and honest exchange of thoughts and opinions.

H.A.C.K. will also meet periodically for gallery and musem field trips, movie screenings, studio visits and anything the group deems culturally enriching.
