Description. "One Year Into the Art Strike." This being January 1991, 
the Persian Gulf War loomed large in the minds of contributors, and 
was extensively reflected in the works that appeared in this issue. 
The works range from Steve Perkin's opening text 'Desert Storm', to 
graphics by Eleutheros Productions, and on to a report on the 
activities of the Aggressive School of Cultural Workers that centered 
around their anti-Gulf-War art exibit 'Lies in the Sand' held in Iowa 
City that month. Less particular to that moment, but no less apt, was 
the art-satyrical text 'State of the Art for Today's Artist' by the 
Bureau of Control and its accompanying and amusing comic strip. 
(Additional works of comic detournement appeared in this issue as 
well, the form being all the rage at that moment.) Al Ackerman, whose 
welcome deflation of the proceedings through humor were always 
eagerly absorbed by our readership, contributed 'The Magic of Bigamy 
(An Alternative to Art Strike)'. As we previously warned, Art Strike 
1990-1993 makes appearances in other works, and in letters and 
commentary that make up this issue.

Contributors include. H. R. Fricker, Stephen Perkins, Eleutheros 
Productions, Buzz Art, Don Baker/Jeff Brice, Ralph Johnson, Semiotic 
Liberation Front, The Tape-beatles, Gen Ken Montgomery, Black Eye, 
Bureau of Control, Cracker Jack Kid, C Schneck, Al Ackerman, Thomas 
Wiloch, John Marriot, David Tiffen, Mark Pawson, Ben Allen

Project Overview: The Photostatic Retrograde Archive serves as a 
repository for a complete collection of Photostatic Magazine, 
Retrofuturism, and Psrf, (as well as related titles) in electronic 
form. We are posting issues in PDF format, at more or less regular 
intervals, in reverse chronological order to form a mirror image in 
time of the original series. When the first issue, dating from 1983, 
is finally posted in several year's time, then this electronic 
archive will be complete.
