Matt Doyle discovered American artist Jack Goldstein through Richard Hertz’s book ‘Jack Goldstein and the CalArts Mafia.' An autobiography told through oral history, Hertz’s book tells the story of Goldstein’s successes, failures, and eventually his disappearance from the art world. This evening, Richard will read selections from the book, Matt will present his in-progress adaptation of the book to feature length narrative film, and there will be a performance by the band Purity. Hosted by Fiona Alison Duncan, Hard to Read is a monthly lit series based out of the Standard hotels in Los Angeles.
