Art Shows


I entered in the Anderson gallery show, but like many of us did not get in, and I also entered into a an online show called "london calling" online at myartspace.com but we don't find out who any of the winners are until after May 15th.

Hassan's work at Anderson Gallery

So I went to Anderson gallery and saw the video piece, and.....I didn't like it, but I don't like any video installation art in general. I was talking to my dad about it, and he agreed he never has liked it either, and thats it kind of like performance art in that its just always bizarre and bad. He said to blame it on Picasso because he pushed painting so far, and now people feel they need to push other mediums that far, and I agree. But when Picasso pushed painting as far at it could go, it worked, and he is one of the greatest artists of all time. Unfortunately, pushing film past being a movie or a short film, just turns it into crap, and watching someone take out their jewelry and shave their face and head is not appealing art to me. I guess one positive thing is that the blur with all the different layers of heads was kind of cool.
