The reason given for the lack of their inclusion on Snitzer.com is that the web site is currently under construction. This story with was fabricated based on a simple assumption without proper research. I believe Artlurker owes an apology to its audience and to both Mr. Chambers & Miss Hwang for misguiding readers and the community with this erroneous article.

As this happens the gallery is less significant. One Artist that I can think of, is Jonathon Borofsky. http://www.borofsky.com/ Borofsky who was very active in commercial galleries in the 80's and 90's, is mostly involved in Public art projects these days. As entity in himself the audience he reaches is of the pedestrian tread. As for Chambers; I think that he is on a similar path; his ambition is similar as well. Art in public places not art in private places. Why take up valuable web site space at a gallery when one is rarely involved in gallery/collector commerce (an Archive is more appropriate) The lack of an Artist works in the commercial gallery system can be meaningless...especially if you look back historically to Site specific happenings or even the Day of WPA grandeur. It is hard to collect a commission on things outside the gallery...and if one is not interested in Art Star celebrity status then...well, that is another topic. The White Cube is just a facet of the greater cultural refuse left behind by human trace. Art is something else (Adorno) [sic]. I wouldn't worry about Robert.

Given today's parameters, there is plenty of talent. Gallerists are proportionate to the shortage of patrons. It’s pimpology 101, choose a role, pimp, whore or john.

This current system is flawed and will only change when artists take it over and hire the gallery owners as studio assistants and gophers. Gallery owners do very little but hold a set of keys to a warehouse and have the phone numbers of the easily duped collectors. Hwang has been associated with Snitzer since getting her education and graduating from New World School of Visual Arts, where Mr. Snitzer teaches some classes. [This is another story] Mr. Chambers has been active in NYC as much as in Miami. Being dropped from Snitzer will not do much to stop the Human Dynamo that is Robert Chambers. Perhaps I am missing an important aspect of the picture but the fact remains that the artists can survive without the gallery owners, but the gallery owners will disappear without the artists. ARTISTS OF THE WORLD ARISE AND UNITE! It’s the gallery owners who are nursing on the milky teat of the artist the worldover.
