History
Redtape was published between 1980 and 1992. The magazine communicated innovative artistic ideas and divided its pages between literature and graphics. It encouraged the collaboration of writers and visual artists. Michael Carter, the editor and publisher of Redtape, said that the purpose of the magazine was "to explore new possibilities and forms of expression, to develop craft and technique without becoming sequestered in an intellectual or academic ivory tower." It featured comics, fiction, poetry, graphic art, and photography. It also provided a venue for both established and emerging artists and writers of the downtown New York scene.[1]
