Erik Bakke

Wednesday March 30, 2011, 7:30-8:30pm, at Royal NoneSuch Gallery The First California Bear Flag with Erik Bakke From the Gallery press: Participants will take an Instructional on painting the original California “bad painting”--the first California Bear Flag. Those in the audience will be given material with which they can make their own versions. Particular attention will be given to the roughness of execution of the original flag and the “mistakes” it contained. Excerpts from Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo’s history of California will also be read (and other readings). Special thanks to Elizabeth Bernstein and Carrie Hott of Royal NoneSuch Gallery (To see Erik Bakke's series of bear flag paintings click here.)

Readings. Read aloud by Erik Bakke while participants painted. See program above for details.
