“Intersections”

Something you might hear at an Art Chatter Critique Group meeting: “Hey brushy, brushy, brushy…STEE-ROKE!” Okay, that was pretty dumb (art/baseball analogies almost never work, do they?). What the invitation-only club actually does is get together, present work and talk frankly about it, as a way of what the group calls “defying the stereotype of the lone artist in isolated studio practice.” The results of that process will be on display at the Jung Center as “Intersections,” an exhibition of works by 20 chatters. There’s an opening reception from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on January 11, with exhibiting artists on hand to discuss their methods and hear your assessments. Word to the wise, though: “You suck” isn’t recommended. And it’s “critique,” not “cretin.” Regular viewing hours are 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Mondays to Thursdays, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Fridays, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays through January 30. The Jung Center of Houston, 5200 Montrose. For information, call 713-524-8253 or visit www.cgjung-houston.org. Free.

Mondays-Saturdays. Starts: Jan. 11. Continues through Jan. 30, 2008
