One of Jon Gams’ great passions was the Mission Critical Series. He viewed it as THE avenue for contemporary art critics to publish current thought and debate about art.
The mission critical series evolved out of his relationship in particular with art critic and professor Raphael Rubinstein. Jon edited Rubinstein”s poetry in the 90s and then collaborated on several art criticism and monograph titles together. Rubinstein then became the Mission Critical Series editor, — the latest in the series being Seeing Out Louder by Jerry Saltz.
