Produced on a shoestring and edited by Joshua Cohn, Edit Deak, and Walter Robinson, the magazine rejected the academic language that dominated contemporary art writing in favor of a more irreverent and punchy style.

It was unheard of to have a sense of humor at the time, or not to be talking about ‘the problem’ of art – the problem of this, the problem of that.
