Art Happened Here

As many of you know I (Anna) am in Europe for the summer. Right now I am starting a series of performance pieces in Venice that are being tracked and recorded at www.arthappenedhere.blogspot.com . I would like to invite you to follow my work while I am away and see how this project develops.

For more information please check out the blog.

Our Backyard

Hi All,

I recently received word from friends and artists Karen Bovinich and Michelle Ishikawa who are running an outdoor space for the summer (and possibly on). They say they are emailing artists/designers/friends/humans to let them know. (so if you meet these qualifications and are interested let me know and I will put you in touch with them)

Located in the backyard (go figure!) at 2431 W. Cortez, Chicago, IL

Maybe you are interested in proposing an idea for a show in Our Backyard.
Maybe you are interested in coming to our upcoming shows.
Maybe you have a friend who wants to show work.

Either way, spread the word. Contact them at

the.backyard.folks@gmail.com

First show is with Chicago artist, Jesus Mejia. Installation. Saturday, June 6th, 2009 7:00pm -Not to be missed!

Home EC.

Alrighty, the Happy Collaborationists have been writing their thesis(es) and been sadly neglectful of their blog. But we are back with another show update! Join us Sat. May 9th for Home EC. Installations by Torreyanna Barley and Anna Trier (that's me). Technically its the first time a Happy Collaborator has show at the Happy Collaborationists exhibition space (ok sure Emanuel had work there BEFORE he joined us but don't spoil my fun!) so don't miss it, it will be spectacular.

Home EC.
Sat. May 9th
1254 N. Noble
7pm- 11pm

hope to see you all there!

Global Print

Vincent Finazzo, friend of the Happy Collaborationists and rather nifty fellow, has put together a show for the Southern Graphics Counsel titled Global Print. The Happy Collaborationists will be there and magazines will be available!

"Global Print examines globalization and its effects on everyone. Artist
exhibit works of all media that address globalization, cultural destruction
and rebirth, and the phenomenon of cross-cultural and global information
exchange. The work pushes the boundaries of print processes, explores
new techniques, and encourages the viewer to think of art in a global manner."
~Vincent Finazzo




Please join us March 27th From 6-9pm At 623 S. Wabash, First Floor Hokin gallery.

Happy C will be there and so should you!

Prey For Me- Images from the show

Hello everyone! Here are some images Emanuel took at last month's show Prey For Me, an installation by Tannar Veatch. For all of you who came out for the show, thank you so much for your support, I hope to see you at the next one! And for all of you who didn’t make it to Prey For Me I hope these pictures make you regret it so much that you wouldn’t even think of missing our next one!

!Submissions Deadline!

Hello everyone, as I'm sure most of you know our next issue (the April issue) is on sketchbooks, journals and plans.... if you have something brilliant scribbled on a napkin we'll print it! We are moving up our print date on this issue to be apart Vincent Finazzo's show at the Southern Graphics Counsel, so we need all submissions by next Monday! That is Monday Feb. 23rd! So go scan so pages and send them my way, I mean right now, go do it while you are thinking about it!

All images need to be at least 300mp for high resolution printing, most scanners will just do this anyway and you don’t have to think about it but if you have any questions on this front, or on any other front just let me know and I will be more then happy to help where I can. Also if you would rather just give us a sketchbook and have us deal with getting it in digital format we do that too! Just drop me a line (517-281-3530) or send me an e-mail and we can meet up.

Anna
