Issue (76). I'll highlight five of the 100 artists they mention, most
of whose work I know anyway.
Jessica Ingram- (have i written about her?)
Jess is a native Nashvillian, via NYC then Oakland. She's a
photographer whose roots are in "documenting" sites that have been
forgotten related to the Civil Rights Movement. I brought her work to
TSU, and we have remained friends.

Fahamu Pecou
This guy from Atlanta is super popular. Not sure if I like his work
anymore, but it certainly comments on (or uses) celebrity and hip hop
cultures, perveyed into fine art.

Amy Pleasant
Love Amy's (Birmingham) work. She shows at a gallery in NY (Jeff
Bailey) that I'd love to be a part of...someday. Her work vasicalltes
between representation and mostly abstraction. Full, lush, daring,
relevant, southern.

Patrick DeQuira
He is a friend from Nashville, super smart- was in the Brooks Museum
show with me a few years back. Mostly conceptual painting, takes a
lot of critical theory to make sense of his work but yet his
motivations are also really personal.
