Why dont you get off your ass actually do something worth looking at rather than lashing out at people you dont know. If you actually went to the event you would know its not just prestigious people who go, but normaltons too- and a hell a lot of money is given to charity- 95% of money raised is matched. But going to this event- you surely know all this right? So actually its a pretty good thing and not many events can match that. So get off your high horse, take your finger out and do some work!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-878806998874405096.post-39863483545936185092008-05-03T17:39:00.000-05:002008-05-03T17:39:00.000-05:00Hey dude, I'm pretty sure everyone who has even th...Hey dude, I'm pretty sure everyone who has even the slightest clue knows the Hunting prize is lame. I'd also bet that none who entered think that it is about prestige, or that who they are pandering to are (equally worthless) tastemakers in the"scene". It is $50,000 though and a lottery well worth playing. Simply put, you are coming off sounding like a whiny baby who didn't get picked.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-878806998874405096.post-23251623807871938202008-04-24T09:27:00.000-05:002008-04-24T09:27:00.000-05:00Hi Everyone, I have an interesting turn of events....Hi Everyone, I have an interesting turn of events. I was a finalist for the 2008 line up and just was notified that my art work was disqualified!!!! They gave me no explanation after I had a wooden crate built and paid for shipping (as they required!). They only put a blurb on about how they can disqualify anyone they want. So I did some research.<BR/>Contacted one of the jurors who were to chose pieces from the actual works and he said that they never seen my piece. I called a representative of Hunting and she told me that they had nothing to do with the disqualification process and that it was the jurors that did the disqualifying because it wasn't a "painting". What gives? I try to get a clear answer and all they say is to pay for the shipping back of my work.<BR/>I think it is interesting to note that my painting is non traditional "over the sofa" type of painting but I consider it a painting!!!! If you look closely at the work you will see the word "WAR". Do you think they saw it?<BR/>Interesting, but I think other artists should realize that the Hunting Art Prize is not what it wants to appear. I was in the gala last year and there was some really bad paintings and some good ones. The taste of the oil barons really lacks.Dellview Dellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12409906192411953738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-878806998874405096.post-90989496075003946002008-04-07T19:53:00.000-05:002008-04-07T19:53:00.000-05:00Why only list the locals of 96 of the 128 artists ...Why only list the locals of 96 of the 128 artists accepted into the 2008 Hunting Art Prize?Tom Toperzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13619970429721226773noreply@blogger.com
