Journal : A Contemporary Art Magazine Vol. 5, Num. 47, Margaret Cranston, Ed.

“This might be the last issue of Journal. LAICA was an exhibition venue for visual arts that ran between 1974 and 1987 in LA. The founders of LAICA saw the publication of a journal as pivotal to their mission of supporting experimental artistic practices, seeing print as an alternative form of distribution that supported or even replaced the goals of their exhibition space. Here’s a good history of the chaos at the end of LAICA : eastofborneo.org/articles/hand-in-glove-reflections-on-laica-journal-and-culture-endowed/. I was asked by Rosamund to be on the board in 1986/87 in order to have enough people to officially close it.” - CVM
