Artists' Talk

Basta 'Honest Discussion Art' Critic Group

The unit 2 artists' talk is quite different from the last unit. This time, there are not only two person talking, this time is a group chat. 

I have a chat group which organized by one of my friend. The name of the group is Basta 'Honest Discussion Art' Critic Group. Our goal is to have a place for serious and honest discussion and criticism of art. We hope our works and practices can get the most honest criticism here. We like to express our opinions and hear different voices here. 

We have 4 members here besides me, the first one who propose the group is Huaijie Wang studying in Italy, the rest is Shijie Zhang who is newly graduated artist in China, Xiaozhijian Li who is studying in RCA and the last one is Jingyi Huang the guest of unit 1 who is studying in Lcc.

The following pictures are our usual chat records. In order to make it easier for you to see it more intuitively, I directly translated the screenshot from Chinese to English with a web translator. If the translation is not good, please forgive me. I have corrected the wrong meaning in the picture.

Sometimes others can see a lot of things that you unconsciously express. It's really useful to listen to others' opinions to understand yourself
