Chris Hackett Fundraiser

Chris Hackett

Our good friend Chris Hackett was seriously injured in an accident while working on an art project on January 24, 2004. Hackett, along with the Brooklyn art collective Madagascar Institute, has been a significant force in an amazing NY underground arts scene that has been evolving over the last 5 years. He could really use our help with medical expenses during his extensive recovery period. Check out the Madagascar Institute website for more information.

Here are my photos from the SFMad Benefit which took place on February 13th, 2004.
