The A-Team

ArtSEEN journal is a result of collaboration between many people. We all work on a voluntary basis, meaning, we don’t get paid for the work we do for ArtSEEN (all of our finances are employed for the printing costs, which doesn’t leave much left over for salaries or any extra costs.) As the Editor Team, we are very grateful therefore to the people who support the ArtSEEN project, who spend their time and share their knowledge with us. We are pleased that our collaborators work with us with pleasure, contributing to the quality of ArtSEEN journal. As we are happy that ArtSEEN journal merits their time, their work and their belief in it!!

Here are our permanent collaborators:

Martin Siegrist- ArtSEEN Advisor

Martin Siegrist - Martin is a creative thinker from Zurich, Switzerland: he works in architecture, scenography, and design, and has many wild ideas. Martin is the ArtSEEN Advisor, the person we turn to for expanding our ideas, both philosophical and visual. His support has been a gift to us from the beginning of ArtSEEN, and includes the donation of his old Mac which I use for the lay-out. Martin also helps when he can with the lay-out of the SEEN, and also in solving many of those little knots that may come up. His technical and creative ability is the basis behind “the Map,” ArtSEEN special issue summer ‘06.

We are waiting for a photo of Melissa

Melissa Morris – Mel is our English language Editorial Consultant. Her job is to check all our English texts, and especially our translations from Italian to English, and make sure they are in proper English (English English). She also analyses the texts, making great suggestions for clarifying ideas. Her understanding of the thought behind a funny-sounding sentence is precious to us and our artist-writers! Mel is form the USA, she too is an artist, a teacher, and leads bicycle tours in the summer, bringing all her passions together.

Federico Fratelli - Editorial Consultant

Federico Fratelli – Fede is our Italian language Editorial Consultant. He also has the hard task of transcribing our Italian translations into proper Italian (Italian Italian)! Not always easy, as translating phrases we may take for granted in the English language, is not so easy- Fede is the mind who finds out how to verbalise “raining cats and dogs” in the appropriate Italian way. He ploughs through our odd grammar, and finds solutions for it. Fede is Florentine, and his creative process is directed to the financial flux of international stock exchange. He’s a motorcycle and car pilot - he raced professionally for many years in Rally car races. Did you know he was Italian champion of Karate?

We are waiting for a photo of Silvia

Silvia Caparrini – Silvia is another one of our helpers, and Editorial Consultants. She, like Fede, has helped us with the texts right at the beginning of the SEEN. Silvia, together with Mel, also leads bicycle tours, and is finishing her university studies for a professional translator – English, German and French featured.

Sue Carlson - ArtSEEN Representative New York

Sue Carlson - Sue is an abstract painter who got to know ArtSEEN by being present in the first edition of ArtSEEN PLUS in September 2006. Since then she has collaborated with the magazine by helping to put ArtSEEN Journal in Spoonbill and Sugartown Books and ArtSEEN PLUS in the Pierogi Gallery, both are located in Brooklyn. Her enthusiasm has warmed us and we are very happy to say that she is one of our very first fans on the other side of the Atlantic!
