content: The recording begins with a general discussion on Marxist theory, specifically the relationship between base and superstructure. The group also discusses the importance of using their work as a tool to transform society, concerns regarding the process of art making becoming more "proletarianized," and the unsustainable nature of capitalist societies based on understandings of dialectical materialism. The second tape continues the discussion from the first tape. The group also discusses the escalation of capitalism, the contributions to Art & Language made by members Christine Kozlov and Joseph Kosuth, and the stamping of future publications of the current issue of "The Fox" journal in order to correct an article.
