In its eighth year, M/E/A/N/I/N/G, an artist-run journal of contemporary art, remains an important meeting ground between critical and theoretical ideas and language, and the actual practice of visual art by working artists. It is an inclusive, lively, contentious, provocative, and unprogrammatic forum for new ideas in the arts.

Library Journal writes about M/E/A/N/I/N/G: "This attractive, large-format critical journal contains controversial and provocative comments and reviews related to the contemporary art scene. This eminently readable journal, which seems to display a particular interest in womene's issues, gives voice to new views and is an excellent choice for medium and larger academic collections."

Excerpts from issue #16, Fall 1994:

"I see no contradiction in being an artist in a media-based culture. TV, movies, and advertising are potentially just as interesting as works in the traditional fine arts. Conversely, paintings can be potentially more boring than a string of commercials." -- Kathe Burkhart

"If Sex, Race, and Homophobia, are the major headlines of art at the close of the 20th century then how do I, as a formal, geometric, abstract painter fit in?" -- Michael Windle

"Painting has become pure spectacle losing its power to do harm. It has become like the oppressed feminine: domestic,shallow, empty, ineffectual, fickle, decorative." -- Rebecca Quaytman

"When I first found I could make artwork about the frustration, anguish, and stupidity of my own life, I wept with relief." -- Julia Jacquette

"In many ways I think my work is about terror management, the control of phobia through humor." -- Amy Sillman
