Artforum is published by Artforum Media,LLC,a subsidiary of Penske Media Corporation.

Ronald Jones was an American artist,critic and educator who gained prominence in New York City during the mid-1980s. In the magazine Contemporary,Brandon Labelle wrote:"Working as an artist,writer,curator,professor,lecturer and critic over the last 20 years,Jones is a self-styled Conceptualist,spanning the worlds of academia and art,opera and garden design,and acting as paternal spearhead of contemporary critical practice. Explorative and provocative,Jones creates work that demands attention that is both perceptual and political." Labelle positions Jones along the leading edge of a "contemporary critical practice" that is perhaps best described as interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary.
