Jordan Stein is pleased to present the latest findings in his ongoing investigation into a just about completely unknown former California visual artist once named Joanne Rruff. For this installment, he will discuss the myriad ways in which his research dovetails with the work of Alberta Mayo and her Manitoba Museum of Finds Art, where Rruff once exhibited.
