<br>Forty years ago, in 1966, friends and colleagues of Frank Malina began<br>meeting in the living room at No. 17 Rue Emile Dunois, Paris, France, to<br>dream up what has become the Leonardo organization<br>(<a title="http://www.leonardo.info/isast/leostory.html (http://www.leonardo.info/isast/leostory.html)" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://www.leonardo.info/isast/leostory.html" target="_blank">
www.leonardo.info/isast/leostory.html</a>). The first project, the journal<br>Leonardo, saw its first issue published in 1968. Archives of the<span></span> <br>journal, as well as those of its sister publication, the Leonardo Music
<br>Journal, include the work of more than 4,000 artists in the Leonardo<br>community. These archives are now available on JSTOR to members of the<br>organization. The August 6th party will be the first official event<br>
