Included are, among others, Rebecca Dimling Cochran's interview with the newly arrived curator of folk art at the High Museum, Lynne Spriggs; Barbara Schreiber's address to fellow academically trained artists on the market boom in folk art; William Arnett's controversial view of the development of African-American vernacular traditions and obstacles to public presentation of those traditions; Susannah Koerber's global look at vernacular environments; and Gylbert Cocker's examination of African-American vernacular creativity with the New Orleans' Mardi Gras Indians. Some notable reviews include Cathy Byrd's review of Maria Fernanda Cardoso's Cardoso Flea Circus; D. Eric Bookhardt's review of Feminine Products (No String's Attached) a show exploring fetishization and menstruation; and Lorrie Blair's review of The Dead, an exhibition of artists' photographs of the deceased.
