Subject: ABOUT ARTICLE SUBMISSION
Importance: High

Dear Mr. Juarez:

In response to your inquiry about article submissions for ArtNexus, please send us your resume along with copies of articles you have already published on contemporary art.

ArtNexus is focused in Contemporary Latin American Art. Therefore, what we publish are mostly reviews of important one person exhibitions of Latin American artists held in any city of the world. It is indispensable that the author visits the show in order to write about it. We never publish negative comments on a show. Our space is limited and we want to save it in order to highlight the positive contributions. An analytic review with objective comments on the curator´s job and on the development of the artist´s work is what we look for. Such reviews should be very informative…very much like chronicles and avoid writing. The extension of this texts is two letter sized pages (single space, size 12 font).

We also publish more extended articles on a current theme that is relevant to the Latin American art scene. It could be a monography of an important young artist; a new vision of a master´s contribution to contemporary art; an essay on the theory of art; or an article on an international artist (not necessarily Latin American) who is currently causing important analysis in the art world.

For any submission, you should send a proposal first. ( a short paragraph describing what you want to write about with all the necessary info: dates, artists, curators, gallery or museum, etc). Then we proceed to discuss that proposal with our editorial committee and according to their conclusion we let you know if we want the text or not.

We pay 60 dollars for a one person exhibition review.
80 dolars for a group show review
300 dollars for an extended article.

If you have any further questions please let me know.

Sincerely,

María José Ramírez
Editorial Coordinator

p.s: we will have a meeting for the quarterly decision of the upcoming number´s content very soon. If you wish to send a proposal, now would be the right time.
