Slog - Comments on Seattle in Miami 2007 http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/12/seattle_in_miami It used to be that the story of Seattle galleries and artists at Art Basel Miami Beach was simple: Underdog prevails. Now, the plot has twisted. It all began three Decembers ago. Frustrated that the Northwest was invisible at the major annual art fair in Miami—the biggest fair in the country—Seattle artists Jaq Chartier and Dirk Park decided to start their own.

I'm sorry Jen. I appreciate your fine grammar, but YAWN. Can't you just put an excerpt and not soak up some much real estate?

Jen, you can start these out with a few paragraphs then put the rest after the jump so those of us who won't read can get to the next post without paging down 9 or 10 times.

Massive inflation in number of fairs leads to decline in sales as collectors spread thin then exhausted and blinded by repetition. "Competition good for some, sucks for others," says artist William Powhida.
