Editor's Letter November 2009
I am pleased to announce once again that ArtVoices will begin its coverage of Chicago’s contemporary art community in the upcoming issues of ArtVoices. I am focused and committed to participating in, contributing to, and being an integral part of their nurturing, vital, and important scene.
I am also very excited about ArtVoices being selected to participate in Art Basel in Miami in December. My good friend and fellow photographer, Frank Relle, will have a solo booth at Photo Miami as well, so if you’re in town come say hello. This is a further attempt by ArtVoices at widening our demographic to the international contemporary art community and increasing their awareness of all emerging art communities.
I want to say thank you to all the artists worldwide who have supported ArtVoices and our dedication to emerging artists’ communities. To the artists who aren’t afraid to articulate your vision no matter whom they offend: thank you. To the artists who never compromise their work for monetary gain: thank you. You are living legends. Let no one tell you any different.
I also want to thank all the artists I worked with directly and indirectly in New Orleans and beyond over the last 2 years. You are the voices in ArtVoices and I love you. You are one of us and we are not one of them.
You are Frank Relle, Miriam Waterman, Olivia Hill, Tony Nozero, Jeffrey Cook, Willie Birch Blake Boyd, Alex Podesta, Dan Tague Rebecca Rebouche, Marin Dearie, Brad Dupuy, Chris Jahncke, Albert Ledner, Robin Durand, Natalie Sciortino, Elijah Chong, Saskia Ozols Eubanks, John Moore, Lucien Smith, Ammar Eloueini, Dan Tague, Robert Guthrie, Andrei Condrescu, Anthony Carriere, Bruce Davenport Jr., Renee Stout, Sanford Biggers, Mitchell Long, Libbie Allen, Grissel Giuliano, Whitney Wood, Lisa Ariotti, Shawn Stucky, Bill Hemmerling, Ariel Jackson, Bruce Keyes, Nadya Volicer, Stephen Collier, Srdjan Loncar, Dave Brinks, Bernadette Mayer, Horton Humble, Clifton Faust, Daemon, Ernest Concepcion, Deva Suckerman, Joshua Walsh, Ytaelena Lopez, Andrew Buckler, Art Silverman, Dawn DeDeaux, Steve Soltis, Paul Chan, Mel Chin, Mia Kaplan, Arthur Fischer, Jamie Friedrich, Gang Hu, Barbi l’Hoste, Vitalija Svencionyte, Michelle Elmore, Que’vz, Robert Hannant, Robin Williams, Cedric Smith, Brad Dupuy, Jana Napoli, Jennifer Odem, Diana Falchuk, Aurel Schmidt, Robert Tannen, Christopher Porche West, Brian Poirer, Lee Meitzen Grue, Jose Maria Cundin, Generic Art Solutions, Blaine Capone, Jim Sohr, Ernest Brown, Alan Loehle, Mel Kadel, Tara Eden, Eray, Maxx Sizeler, James Taylor Bonds, Colin Meneghini, John Fields, Jimmy Mac, Hayley Gaberlave, Keith Washington, Vitalija Svencionte, Jessica Goldfinch, Marina Camargo, Luke Rocha, Chad Moore, Ben Grgory, Shawne Major, Auguste Garufi, Carrie Villines, Tony Fehrer, Lisa Ariotti, Phoenix Savage, Richard Fleming, Radcliffe Bailey, J.J.
