"Journal: Contents of the LAICA Journal," is a six-page index of every issue of Journal [LAICA Journal], a periodical published from 1974 - 1984 in Los Angeles. Includes dates, editors, article titles, and author/artist contributions for each issue. Front cover of the publication reproduced the cover from the June 1974 (No. 1) issue of the LAICA Journal.

"From 1974 to 1987 the Los Angeles Institute of Contemporary Art (LAICA) published 47 issues of an independent magazine, Journal. The Journal was LAICA's first and last program. LAICA's policy of using guest curators and guest editors produced a wide- ranging program of exhibitions, performances, off site projects, community wide exhibitions, and the Journal.

From the first three issues, edited by Fidel Danieli, to the last issue, "The Transgressive Phenomena," the Journal was committed to art and subjects of the day (Zeitgeist). By expressing a varied points of view the Journal, like other LAICA pro-grams, tried to avoid an institutional bias or an "in house" aesthetic position.

As a program of an alternative or artist's space the Journal tried to accurately express the ideas of artists and provide a vehicle for their work to meet and engage the public. There was a strong desire to publish artist projects and commissioned covers for the Journal as well as articles authored by artists." -- from publication's text.
