Cover: Jane Hammond. "We have invited some of the artists who first wrote for M/E/A/N/I/N/G to participate in this issue of 'New Observations' as well as several other artists whose art practice involves language and writing as either subject or image of their artwork or as a parallel practice, or significant source of inspiration. We have encouraged them to extend the basic premise of the discussion in any direction of particular present relevance to their work." -- editors statement
