Par- ticipating artists are only asked to be open to (and interested in) considering reactions to their work by the group\, which will always be done in a supportive\, constructive and casual environment\, but could at the same time be challenging. \n\n  \nTo participate\, artists can send the following info via email to Brittney Bullock (brittney@ crosstownarts.org) with the subject line “Open Crit.” Submissions will be accepted and scheduled based on availability.

SUMMARY:XO: Collaborative Works by Chloe York & Eric Quick
DESCRIPTION:Artists’ Statement \nWithin our individual works\, we explore the metaphor of the exoskeleton in its relation to the human practice of camouflage and self-defense. We wished to combine this shared interest in a collaborative series of mixed media paintings and sculptural installation. These works depict creatures that physically possess exoskeletons of their own. \nThis series\, entitled XO is a play on the push and pull between abstraction and realism\, each artist using his and her individual strengths to create a fully formed\, cohesive creature with a disconnect in visual styles.

Each year the Festival receives more than 8\,000 short film submissions\, selecting 60-80 to show. The Festival programs a 90-minute collection of shorts from its most recent Festival to go on a theatrical tour to independent art houses in more than 50 cities nationwide. It is one of very few theatrical releases of short films in America. \nFueled by artistic expression and limited only by their runtime\, short films transcend traditional storytelling. They are a significant and popular way artists can connect with audiences. From documentary to animation\, narrative to experimental\, the abbreviated form is no longer just for the novice. Shorts have and will continue to be an important part of cinema\, storytelling\, and culture. The Festival has always treated short films with the highest regard and gives a home to new (and old) projects for audiences to discover and celebrate. \nThe Festival’s Short Film Program has long been established as a place to discover talented directors\, such as past alums Wes Anderson\, Todd Haynes\, Nicole Holofcener\, Spike Jonze\, Paul Thomas Anderson\, Lynne Ramsay\, David O. Russell\, Trey Parker and Matt Stone\, Lake Bell\, Jay and Mark Duplass\, Alexander Payne\, Debra Granik\, Andrea Arnold\, and many others. \nRecent short film discoveries at the Festival include Golden Globe Award winner Jill Soloway (Transparent) and Academy Award nominee Damien Chazelle (Whiplash). \nThe Festival is the centerpiece of the year-round public programs for the nonprofit Institute\, which also hosts 24 residency labs and grants more than $2.5 million to independent artists each year. \n\n\n\n\n\n \n
