In October 1991,
Curare published its first quarterly Bulletin, designed on a borrowed
computer. In September 1993, this publication was adopted by the 
newspaper
La Jornada, as a quarterly insert, preserving its name Curare. Together
we published 4 issues, before this collaboration was interrupted for
economic motives at the beginning of 1995. The bulletin was published
internally and distributed by suscription. In the fall of 1996, with
the help of our sponsors, the bulletin developed into the magazine CURARE-
available in gallery and museum bookstores and to suscribers. The publication
of number 12 was the last activity financed in part by our sponsors,
and with number 13, Curare inaugurates a new era and initiates a project
of special subscriptions in support of the magazine, acompanied on this
occasion by a work of art donated by the dutch artist Jan Hendrix.

COLABORATIONS
Curare is an open forum which invites the participation and collaboration
of artists, art historians and critics. The different types of articles
in the magazine include:
Critical analyses of cultural
and artistic policies and issues.
Analytical or interpretative essays based on original research on aspects
of twentieth century Mexican art, and related international topics.
Short articles (3-6 pages) which present critical analyses of exhibitions,
events and publications.
Longer essays (10-20 pages) which present theoretical proposals or the
results of art historical research.
Previously unpublished documents and interviews related to twentieth century
Mexican art.
Strange events and faux pas of the cultural milieu.
Guidelines for submission of texts:
Curare accepts texts in Spanish or English. They should be sent by e-mail or delivered on a diskette, along with a printed version which indicates underlining, italics or other special formatting information, as well as the location of specific illustrations, if this is important for your text. We suggest using a text file in RTF (Rich Text Format). If this is not possible, please save your article in Word, in a version prior to Word for Windows 95 or Word for Mac 5.2. Notes and bibliographic references should be located at the end of the article as text. A copy of the accompanying illustrations should be attached, along with the corresponding identification and photographic credits. Please also include a current curriculum summary in five lines.
