Afterimage, Feb. 1993, v. 20, no. 7, pp. 12-13
This article discusses AIDS activism and the massive response of critical analysis and documentation that the crisis has engendered. Discussing the publications: A Leap in the Dark and Public Art Issues, Chris accumulates a geneology of AIDS education- Government agencies vs independents and artists. The two texts "collect important perspectives by documenting work and attempting to enhance its impact through critical inquiry", compiling theory, artistic and educational works in the 'form of activism'.
