Manuel Saiz
B. Rioja Spain, lives in London and in PAL
On residency in Rome for nine months, this old friend of mine is making a colossal work. He will not see the Colosseum for the whole 9 months of his stay. He is writing about everything relating to this idea from his blog: http://manuelsaiz.com/Rome/index2.htm
for other works look at http://www.manuelsaiz.com/index.htm
He has recently published a very funny book entitled 101 Excuses. How art legitimises itself which you can buy online
Pablo Helguera
vive en NY
(c) Pablo Helguera, from his book Artoons. This is still my favourite one.
"Helguera’s cartoons really do capture the foibles, ironies, and occasional stupidity of the art world with a clarity and economy that only a simple pen drawing and a short piece of text can achieve. Cartooning is rarely done in the art world (…) Maybe the problem isn’t the humor, but the truth." From the foreword by Adrás Szántó
look at most of his oeuvre here:

Juan José Olavarría "viaducto-1" y "bandera-madre" 2008, copyright Juan José Olavarría 2008
With a perfect exhibition in Periférico Caracas in 2008, Olavarría has demonstrated that in Venezuela there is and there has been for a while, a gigantic lack of works that are political, intelligent, beautiful and skilled at once. He does the lot.

Luis Romero
VEN, lives in Caracas
Luis Romero "insomnio" 2005-2007, acrylic on canvas, installation view. copyright luis romero 2007
Luis Romero is to me the most important shaman of the contemporary arts in Venezuela. He is the reason why I went back. He is a multi tasking, multi talented artist, co-director of Oficina#1, editor of PULGAR, creator of Tipos Moviles, a constant generator of activity and a constant provider of peace.

Ana Laura Lopez
UR/ES/UK, lives in London
Do you remember Olive Morris? She worked with the Black Panther movement; set up Brixton Black Women's Group, was a founder member of The Organisation of Women of African and Asian Descent (OWAAD) and was central to the squatter campaigns of the 1970s. She died tragically young in 1979 at age 27. Artist Ana Laura Lopez de la Torre created a collective portrait of Olive Morris on a weblog, the aim of which is to bring together the personal memories of those who knew her, and publish information and materials relating to her life and work.

Daniel Bozhkov
on residency in rome
_
Daniel fue también co-residente para la bienal do mercosul en Porto Alegre y compartimos mucho tiempo en esa ciudad y en la triple frontera paraguaya, brasilera y argentina entre 2006 y 2007. El trabajo de Daniel fue con la comunidad guaraní. daniel vivió con un grupo guaraní argentino por casi un mes, comunicándose con ellos con su guaraní rudimentario -que ha mejorado muchísimo- y aprendiendo de ellos sus conocimientos artesanales de cestería y fabricación de figuras de madera. Para su muestra en Porto Alegre la comunidad construyó una casa tradicional de madera y tierra dentro del espacio, y Daniel mostró los trabajos realizados en el tiempo que pasó con ellos.

mustafa hulusi
vive en londres
mustafa invade de vez en cuando las calles del este de londres con afiches que simplemente repiten su nombre, y en su ultima muestra en andrew mw projects (londres) encargó unas pinturas bellísimas a un pintor hiperrealista con el que logró imágenes como ésta, cargadas de rabia y de mensaje (para quien lo pueda y quiera ver).
