First, please RSVP for events to hashtagclass (at) gmail.com, NOT to Winkleman Gallery.
Second, please check the calendar here on the blog before heading to events - things sometimes change and this calendar will be updated as that happens!
Third, we want to be as clear as possible about what we're doing on the chalkboards. It's a messy process by definition (Freedom is Untidy = unofficial #class motto!), but our basic goal with #class is to foster productive discussion about the intersection of art and the market, and the conversation on the chalkboards has an integral function towards that goal. Jen and Bill will be interacting with the chalkboards to try to shape the discussion towards the subjects we most hope to explore, in the way that seems most productive to us. You are welcome to do this too! Anyone is free to write and to erase, but we hope that people will use this privilege thoughtfully to react to, explicate, and refute what has come before, not to obliterate it for no reason. The chalkboards will be photographed first thing when the gallery opens each day to keep a record of the conversations.

#class Schedule!
There are still more events in development that will be added, and some shifting will occur as we deal with changes. But this is how it stands now. When things change we will update the calendar so it should always be up-to-date.
Table Discussions are in yellow and Event/Performances are in green. Where it says Work Space, we will be in the gallery working on drawings, writing on the wall, and talking with whomever stops by.
We'd like to thank all of the people who have taken the risk to experiment with us. What we have created is a framework for a dialog that will last for a month. We also hope all the participants will help us spread the word to bring people into the gallery. Invite your co-workers, people you don't know, people who think contemporary art is a joke; we'd like to see a broad audience come through the show and make it accessible. Bring a six-pack, a bottle of wine, coffee or just your thoughts to #class. It's really yours and it might be absurd, serious, heated, contentious, ugly, wonderful, awkward, sincere, ironic, but maybe we'll figure this shit out.
