Sorry for the confusion caused by my sentence structure. What I meant
was, I'm looking for artists to represent, not necessarily artists that
are new.
This being a startup gallery, I don't have the "connections" that some
of the more established galleries have, but I do have the energy and
the spirit to make this happen. I'm not in this for the money, in
other words, I didn't think, "hmmmm, I bet I can make a lot of money by
opening an art gallery in Seattle." The opening of this gallery (I'm
still in the process of painting walls, putting up lighting, and
establishing advertising, etc.) came through a series of sychronistic
events and it appears that the spirit, for lack of a better term, wants
this to happen. I'd rather not go into detail here.
I'm looking fine art, photography, and sculpture. The space is small,
(750 sq ft) so sculpture size will be limited. I am also open to
computer generated art, as long as the output is high quality and the
paper/ink, etc. is on par with "traditional" quality fine art prints,
paitings, etc. I would also be very interested in seeing, if it does in
fact exist, interactive online art (not games or CD-ROM titles!).
Abstract and representational art are both acceptable. My criteria is
that the work must have the power to make connections for people;
something that will allow them to form a complete gestalt with the
work. It should make us feel that we are remembering something that is
inside ourselves that we didn't even know was there.
I'm not looking for seascapes and paintings of barns that display the
artists ability to portray seascapes and barns. When looking at
abstract art I expect to "know" that the artist has understood the
essence of the material enough to be able to abstract it.
I'm looking for artists that are willing to take a chance on a startup
gallery and I hope to be able to represent and encourage them with all
the energy that I can. Without getting too mystical or corny: I think
"the spirit" will also be available when needed.
Sorry for the long posting, but it was hard to keep this short.
Hope this answers your questions and thanks for the reply,

I publish the only comprehensive guide to the visual arts in the Pacific
Northwest. Listed in the directories under each town in Western Washington are
all the galleries. I don't have the Greenwood Gallery listed. Did you just
open up?

What "world of art" are you referring to? Are you in Belgium--where
is inbe.net? Photography has LONG AGO been accepted as an
art form in and of itself around the globe, to my knowledge. Many,
many additional artists use elements of photography as part of
their art work. So exactly what are you talking about?

Here is some additional information for you:
Awards have recently been announced by the MacArthur Foundation
in the USA. Here is but one individual singled out for a grant.
" Photographer Cindy Sherman, 41, whose postmodern self portraits
have ranged from starlet poses to impersonations of Old Masters,
challenging the way society thinks about identity, social
stereotypes and artistic representation, was awarded a $260,000
grant."

We (art photographers) are still making us mad about the ignoring
of photography in the art world.
I do not know why photography is not accepted in the world of
art, I'll unthurstand that the pictures in the nude magaziens are
not related to art but there are a lot of photographers who are
thaking there work serius!!!
So think about it 'not only sculptors and painters make the art'!!

I do not know in wich part of the world you live in but over here in
europe photographyis nog yet fully acceped as a art form!!!
At this moment I'm involved in a collective exibition and the were 50
artist who could participate, a selection of 28 atrist could hang
there work in a galary. There were more than 10 photograpers in the
inlisted but only one (myself) was accepted, for the rest 4 sculpture
artists and 23 painters. So our shance is very little.
Also the normal galary's are making it still difficult for the
photographer over here in europe. We do have to fight up to the lang
tradition of painters!
An other exemple; a friend of my father (pensiond) dit not know watt
to do with his time and started a olther people class of painting
afther one year (never had painted before) he opens a exibition and on
the first day all of his work was sold, a photographer olmost never
solds his work, the public thinks tha a oil painting could becomme a
great value in time, but thy never think this of a picture.
I hope you can see the difference....

I can't speak for your galleries or their provincial attitude toward
photographers. You made the broad statement that photography
is not accepted in the world of art. That is absolutely untrue.
Here are a few names of photographers who have been accepted
into the world of art at one time or another. Why don't you study
them. Man Ray, Joel Peter-Witkin, Dianne Arbus, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy,
Edward Weston, Edward Muybridge, Robt. Mapplethorpe, Henri Cartier-Bresson,
Andre Kertesz, Margaret Bourke-White, Barbara Kruger, Cindi Sherman,
Sherrie Levine, Bernd & Hill Becker, Walker Evans, Gary Winogrand,
David Hockney, Edward Steichen, Aaron Siskind, Ansel Adams,
Alfred Steiglitz--and as I mentioned before, there is no end to the number
of artists who use photographic elements in their work.

True, I also have galary's who put my work to the public, but we still
have to do much more effort in to it to get the galary's to do so. And
it is true that in the states it lees a problem but as I stated over
here in europe we have to put up to the long culture of painters.
Also by the public is photography the last art form thy tink of.
Much the same as I could see in this starting artikel they wanted
artists and put in a list but again no photograpy the in the list, so
that was the reason for my replie.
I do not want to offent enyone, sorry if I dit so...
I think I do have to move to the states (hi)..

Also good things happens some times.
I also had (once) a state sponcership of $3500.
So I keep on dooing wat I dooing and hope one day sombody will ask me
to bring my work to the galary in stead of I'm always asking.
But thanks for the info anyway, it is nice to read this...

Are you related to the poet Emile Verhaeren? You're probably sick of
people asking you that! It's just that I noticed your English spelling is
very "creative," which sometimes indicates a poetic nature. Wasn't
Verhaeren an art critic too?

Hello Ross, your flemish is very good, I think you use it much more
(hi)
Yes I'm related in a very far way with Emile, he was a flemish
speeking person and write his poets in french.
But he was one of the makers of our flemish in time we had a contest
for the to use of the new ABN, in contest was the Antwerps language
and a Brabands Dutch. Emile and somme others won the contest and so
our formal ABN was born.
I'm not that many times asked this question, I think not many people
knows about Emile (hi)...
