WELCOME January/February 2024: FROM BRIAN GOSLOW
Welcome to Artscope’s first issue of 2024, In my formative years of 1964 and 1965, I benefited from my mom bringing me to the New York World’s Fair, with its motto of “Peace Through Understanding” backed up by exhibitions from countries around the world introducing visitors to their culture and people, be it Michelangelo’s “Pietà” in the Vatican pavilion, Thailand’s ornate roof replica of the Mondrop of Saraburi Buddhist shrine, and through its singing marionettes dressed in costumes and performing songs in their native languages, Walt Disney’s “It’s a Small World” in the Pepsi-Cola Pavilion helped showed us that it was, indeed, “A world of laughter, a world of tears …” Our goal as a publication has always been to introduce our readers to artists making work that touches our hearts and hopefully yours and — in many instances — introduce you to people from cultures different than yours, … [Read more...] about WELCOME January/February 2024: FROM BRIAN GOSLOW
WELCOME May/June 2023: FROM BRIAN GOSLOW
Welcome to the 104th issue of Artscope Magazine. Now in our 18th year, we put this issue together knowing that it would be on display and available at Art Basel’s Collective Booth in Switzerland from June 15 through 18, representing not only ourselves as a publication at the international art fair, which features over 4000 artists from over 250 galleries from around the world, but all of the artists, galleries, museums and collectors covered in it. We first traveled to Basel in 2015. In reporting from that initial visit, Clara Rose Thornton wrote, “The tenuous process of creating art mirrors life’s path: projection, uncertainty, connection then disconnection, and navigating surprise. Thus, it makes sense to look to collections of contemporary art and individual pathways through the market as vibrant manifestations of a zeitgeist, the mime’s shadow we cannot see.” In recent months, … [Read more...] about WELCOME May/June 2023: FROM BRIAN GOSLOW
Welcome: From Brian Goslow, March/April 2021
Welcome to the 15th anniversary issue of Artscope Magazine. Pulling together a group of strangers from around New England and turning them into a working arts community is not an easy goal, but it’s one that publisher Kaveh Mojtabai set out to do back in 2006. We are here, 91 issues later, thousands of formed friendships and professional partnerships later, hopefully about to navigate our way out of the pandemic of our lifetime that upended not only plans for the near future, but many of our lives. These are challenging times, indeed; at a recent Arts Administration Association New England “Sip and Chat,” Catherine Peterson, executive director of ArtsBoston, said she feared that half of its current member organizations wouldn’t make it to the other side of the pandemic. The latest estimate on museums nationwide suggests that up to a third may not reopen their doors. Throughout the … [Read more...] about Welcome: From Brian Goslow, March/April 2021
Welcome Statement: November/December 2020
Welcome to our 89th issue. In some ways, we began planning this issue — covering November/ December and New England’s 2020 holiday season — during our summer issues, anticipating the need to prepare ourselves against the second surge of COVID-19 and the effect it could have on the region’s galleries and museums if they once again found themselves having to close or to severely limit their operations. At that time, we began to consider the kind of coverage that would best assist these institutions in surviving these challenging times. We look to 2021 proud of our consistency and commitment throughout these historic months in having continued to publish on our regular bi-monthly schedule and be a publication that the public and arts industry can depend on. Throughout the years, we’ve expanded our online and app offerings to provide those businesses and organizations with a place that … [Read more...] about Welcome Statement: November/December 2020
Welcome: From Brian Goslow
Earlier this fall, after our national correspondent, Nancy Nesvet posted pictures and video from a rally in Washington, D.C. on our Facebook page, someone asked us, “Are you a political group?” My response was, “Staying alive is a political act.” And art is the way many of us filter life. Rarely is that a more truthful statement than when you have to deal with a loved one facing a health crisis — and you’re the person in charge of arranging their health care. This issue features a story by Meredith Cutler, whose dad was recently diagnosed as having Alzheimer’s disease. If you’ve ever known someone who’s faced this challenge and had to be moved into a private care facility, you’ve probably noticed one of the best possible ways to connect with them is through the visual and performing arts which somehow has the magical ability to trigger old, fond memories in their brains when they … [Read more...] about Welcome: From Brian Goslow
