If you have to ask, here is what was and now is the FGA

Founded by Pedro Vélez and Michael Bulka in 1997, the FGA  (aka Fucking Good Art) started as a poorly published xerox zine and online site dedicated to drunken rants and art criticism --this was before the term "blog" even existed. In 2001, with the help of artist/curator Lena Kuffner, the FGA evolved into a curatorial effort housed in diverse venues between Chicago and Puerto Rico. By 2004 the FGA had a swell group of collaborators (working for free) organizing exhibitions developed specifically for the web, rental spaces, art fairs and sound compilations. Some of those you might have seen but weren't aware it was art...and we are never going to tell. By the way, that magazine form Europe that bears our name in classic Impact font and raggedy look...they have our blessing. 

For the record, here is a list of curators and collaborators of the FGA in the past 7 years: Gean Moreno, Gardy Pérez, Jorge Castro, Raimundo Figueroa and Arte Foundation, Walter Fernández, Mariel Alvarez, Nina Luis, Rebekah Rutkoff, Stefano Pasquini and Joseph Hardesty.
