References and Notes 1. Editor's Note: This was the Congress of the International Association of Art Critics held in Zagreb, Yugoslavia, in 1973. The congress was accompanied by a homonymous exhibition, "The Rational and the Irrational in Visual Research Today," which took place at the Contemporary Art Gallery. ---E. Kac, Section Editor ___ 2. Concrete art is "art composed of simple, non-representational visual forms, linked to the notion of structure as a continuous organizing principle. The name was chosen in preference to abstract art on the grounds that the artist's activity is the reverse of a process of abstraction. Max Bill defined concrete art as the effort 'to represent abstract thoughts in a sensuous and tangible form.'"

Editor's Note: The American Heritage Electronic Dictionary thus defines this mathematical concept: "a. The limiting value of the ratio of the change in a function to the corresponding change in its independent variable. b. The instantaneous rate of change of a function with respect to its variable. c. The slope of a graph of an equation at a given point. Also called differential coefficient, fluxion." ---E. Kac, Section Editor ___ 19. Editor's Note: In the title of this piece, A Mulher que não ê B.B. (The Woman who is not B.B.), Cordeiro alludes to Brigitte Bardot, the French actress. The image of a Vietnamese young woman in distress, processed digitally by the artist, has clear political overtones, as it contrasts the glamour of cinematic spectacle with the horrors of another form of contemporary spectacle, the war. ---E.
