High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! October is a quarterly journal specializing in contemporary art, criticism, and theory, published by the MIT Press. October was founded in 1976 in New York by Rosalind Krauss and Annette Michelson, who left Artforum to do so. Its name is a reference to the Eisenstein film that set a tone of intellectual, politically-engaged writing that has been the hallmark of the journal. The journal was an important participant in introducing French post-structural theory on the English speaking academic scene, and the journal became a major voice interpreting postmodern art. Jeremy Gilbert-Rolfe, one of the co-founders of the journal, withdrew after only a few issues, and by the spring 1977, Douglas Crimp joined the editorial team. In 1990, after Crimp was pushed out of the journal, Krauss and Michelson were joined by Yve-Alain Bois, Hal Foster, Benjamin H.D. Buchloh, Denis Hollier, and John Reichman
