Chamber of Commerce | Pat Glascock and Michael Hall: Artists and Collectors

Abstract

Excerpt from essay by Dick Goody: "Pat Glascock and Michael Hall have undertaken numerous exhibitions of their individual artworks as well as academically correct expositions of works from their art collection; Chamber of Commerce is unconventional in that it involves their work and Collections Simultaneously. As such, it is a confluence of their personalities (which are very different) and their work (also strikingly dissimilar). One thing they have in common is their shared passion for art collecting. When we met to discuss the project (surrounded by their collection - an agglutination of regional painting, folk art, commercial ceramic collectibles and Native American and Eskimo art), the three of us had a mutual intuition that we were going to be breaking new ground and participating in something challenging that hadn't been done before."
