A BI-MONTHLY PUBLICATION of the ARTS Volume 6, Issue 1 Complimentary SEPTEMBER 15/DECEMBER 1,1991 II A BI-MONTHLY PUBLICATION OF THE ARTS Volume 6, Issue 1 Complimentary SEPTEMBER 15/DECEMBER 1,1991 AAA from the editor Editor-in-Chief When Art Muscle Magazine approached us here at The Milwaukee Times, we were not only intrigued but welcomed the opportunity to collaborate with the city's foremost publication of the arts. Being committed to all Debra Brehmer the positive aspects of the African American community, the editorial board at the Times felt a closer look at black art forms was warranted. Art Muscle remains the best vehicle with which to do something like this. Associate Editor Calendar Editor As art is a reflection of a particular culture, it is not only important, but interesting, to take a broad look at black Business Manager art in its various expressions. African American art is not as popular or publicized as mainstream art. This may Therese Gantz be because patronage of black art in the black community is not widespread, or because other communities are not particularly interested in understanding a different culture. We suspect a combination thereof. Associate Editor-Music Bobby DuPah And so, we were able to share our knowledge of art in the black community, and coupled with the expertise at Art Muscle, a happy union had been formed. During the course of our mutual brainstorming sessions, it dawned on both editorial boards that there is more to art in the African American community than meets the Editorial Assistants eye, and that one issue of Art Muscle might not cover black art in its entirety. But to make an initial foray into Judith Ann Moriarty, Mark Bucher the world of black art in Milwaukee has proven to be an enlightening experience. & Niccona Teichert Last fall, an exhibit called Black Art, Ancestral Legacy came to the Milwaukee Art Museum. The exhibit was multi- Photo Editor faceted and a success. Yet, to focus solely on the African influence in contemporary black art is to sell the black Francis Ford culture short. There are many other fascinating aspects of this culture as reflected by its creativity. Music, literature, dance and modern expression are all integral parts of the African American art world. The diversity Design of art in the black community may transcend that of any other culture. If one thinks about rap and Gospel music, Chris Bleiler rap dancing, the African influence of some local dance troupes, and the stories being told by local African American film and theatre directors, there is much to experience. Sales Angel French, Sales Manager The only regret that we share with Art Muscle was our inability to schedule an interview with Alderman Michael McGee. After being initially fold that Aid. McGee would consent to an interview but that he was busy, we have since been unable to establish any contact whatsoever. Being an influential figure in the black community, all Printing by Port Publications of us felt this issue of Art Muscle would be well complemented by some insight from McGee, particularly on urban conditions. No chronicling of black culture in Milwaukee is quite complete without some inclusion of McGee. Unfortunately, though, McGee had a different agenda. FRIENDS OF ART MUSCLE Perry & Bobbie Dinkin Ellen Checota Art Muscle endeavors to explore the many different styles of art in Milwaukee. We hope they have enjoyed their Barbara & Jack Recht Barbara Kohl-Spiro experience in the African American art world, and we hope we were able to help in being something of a tour Jim Newhouse Thelma & Sheldon Friedman Peter Goldberg Mary & Mark Timpany guide. We also hope they will consider a future issue in a similar context. Theo Kitsch Dr. Clarence E. Kusik The Milwaukee Times editorial board: Gerald Pelrine Tina Peterman Jay Brown Babcock Mechanical Nathan Conyers, president and publisher Christine Prevetti Katie Minahan Richard & Marilyn Radke Richard Cler Lynda J. Jackson, chief of staff Patti Davis Dennis Hajewsky Stephen J. Biersdorf, editor Harvey & Lynn Goldstein Robert A. Holzhauer Robert Johnston Gary T. Black Polly & Giles Daeger Joel & Mary Pfeiffer Judith Kuhn Nicholas Topping This is the first time Art Muscle has collaborated editorially with another publication and it was an extremely C. Garrett Morriss Dorothy Brehmer rewarding experience. Although we have earmarked this issue "Black art and culture," it is by no means an Karen Johnson Boyd Geralyn Cannon Tim Holte/Debra Vest Roger Hyman annual tip of the hat to that community. I've always had reservations about segregated art exhibitions — feminist Jack & Ellen Welter Dean Weller Arthur & Flora Cohen Remy art, black art— so in the same sense, I questioned doing an issue devoted solely to black art. All of our issues Sandra Butler David & Madeleine Lubar should, and often do, deal with minority/ethnic art forms. Yet we felt by focusing on this theme we could devote Jimmy G. Scharnek Sidney & Elaine Friedman Mike & Joyce Winter Carolyn & Leon Travanti several concentrated months to establishing new ties and friendships with a community we need to learn much Mary Joe Donovan James B. Chase Jerome J. Luy Cynthia Kahn more about. The project has certainly opened our eyes and minds to the vitality of the black community's artistic Nate Holman Chris Baugniet output as well as its problems. This successful collabration with The Milwaukee Times has encouraged us to Patrick Farrell Riveredge Galleries Albert & Ann Deshur Bob Brue continue such endeavors. In that vein, the next issue of Art Muscle, running December 1 to February 1, will be Pam Jacobs Jewelry Burt & Enid Dinkin Ginny & Gerry Bobbins Ello & Guido Brink guest edited by Milwaukee art historian and freelance critic Frank Lewis. The issue will focus on photography Taglin Enterprises/Access Milw James & Marie Seder and mass media. Harry W. Schwartz Bookshops Randi & John Clark Robert E. Klavetter Keith M. Collis Linda Richman Jewelry Mary Paul Richard Warzynski Joan Krause I want to again thank the Times staff for their work and enthusiasm. Putting out a weekly newspaper is certainly Janet Treacy Morton & Joyce Phillips Monica Cannon Haskell Delphine & John Cannon a consuming enough responsibility, yet they were willing to take on the additional labor of this special issue. Daniel S. Weinberg Jim & Julie Ansfield When I first met Times publisher Nathan Conyers at a luncheon where we shared the podium as guest speakers, Sharon L. Winderl Mary Streich Dori & Sam Chortek Carole & Adam Glass I was immediately impressed by his directness and his commitment to the black community. Conyers' approach Diane & David Buck Janet & Marvin Fishman William James Taylor is positive. He aggressively works to make life better in Milwaukee, yet he isn't one for ignoring the realities and Steve & Amy Palec Julie & Richard Staniszewski Kathy & Neal Pollack Jamie Ross problems that plague the community. When we met I asked him if the recession had affected the business end Blue Dolphin Gallery Club Brookfield East High School Arts of his publication. He laughed, grabbed my hand and, like a teacher to his pupil, said "When you run a minority press, it's always a recession." Yes indeed.
