"We soon moved to the idea of a collective and magazine. We needed a name and found it by utilising the precedent of Dada i.e. by opening a dictionary at random."There my finger alighted on icteric - meaning jaundiced and a cure for jaundice. Undoubtedly a happy accident; a kind of objective chance. We took on board much of the anti-art aesthetic - the jaundiced; but also the idea of the curative; thus we could indulge the luxury of continuing to make art.
