A square folder serving as both container and cover for the magazine's contents, featuring an original painting by minimalist artist Jo Baer on the exterior. The folder includes printed editorial materials: an introductory editorial statement by Dan Graham explaining the issue's conceptual framework, a comprehensive table of contents listing all fourteen sections, and brief biographical sketches of the contributing artists. The folder functions as the primary organizational and presentational element, enclosing sections 2 through 14. Jo Baer's cover painting reflects her minimalist aesthetic and ties to her contemporaneous work exploring optical perception and the relationship between light and dark.

Baer, Jo, 1929-2025 (Cover painting); Maciunas, George, 1931-1978 (Designer); Graham, Dan, 1942-2022 (Editor)
