MISSION STATEMENT

As a group of Argentines and foreigners who love the Argentine art scene, we strive:

To promote Argentine art and artists in English.

To create a virtual space where artists can promote themselves and others without financial or creative constraints.

To ignore categories of high and low, street and gallery, pop and academic, well-known and emerging.

To appreciate those differences but to never let them become values.

To be an independent source of information on the arts, a locus of networking and hopefully, inspiration. We are self-funded. What we say and do is what we mean.

To bring together people who thought they had nothing in common.

WHO WE ARE

Conyers Thompson funds Juanele AR and pays our salaries.

Rick Powell writes, edits, designs and photographs for Juanele. Rick founded the San Telmo Art Walks, conceived of Juanele, chose its name and guides its aesthetics. He’s sometimes nostalgic about having been homeless in Prague.

Gabriela Schevach writes, edits and photographs for Juanele. Besides writing elegantly in English as a second language and making sure we don’t miss anything important, she knows all the words to the Paris Hilton Sex Tape.

WHO IS JUANELE?

Argentine poet Juan Laurentino Ortiz, born in Entre Ríos Province and eventually nicknamed Juanele by his fans, wrote poetry “characterized by delicacy and a contemplative disposition which often referred to rivers, trees, floods, and the changes of the seasons without skirting the social history of his home province.”‘

While we won’t be writing about floods much, we’ve appropriated his name to suggest a personal, accessible contextualized approach to understanding and appreciating the art of Buenos Aires. We like the image of the long look because we think that’s what it takes.
