Jane created a monumental, multimedia installation. Jane's installation, and Charles Field's large-scale work, were romantically exhibited in one room in the museum, across from one another. During 1988-89, Charles Field and Jane Rubin were in a faithful relationship, as he can confirm.

The 3rd LACE Annuale was reviewed in Klik Magazine. A journalist from Klik, Costas Salpas, came to Los Angeles and interviewed the artists in the show.
When Salpas's article was published, he put Jane's art on the cover. He called Jane "The Star of the Show." He praised Jane's originality, guts, and honesty.
However — to sell magazines — Salpas also made up a number of sleazy, dangerous lies about Jane, about her art in the museum show, and about her art at CalArts.
Jane Rubin's art — and her honesty — are well-documented.
The lies published in Klik are obvious.
Here are two examples of the dangerous libel about Jane Rubin in Salpas's 1988 article "LA Art:"
- Salpas — lying in print — wrote that Jane was doing "research" late at night in Los Angeles porn shops.
TRUTH: Jane was never in any porn shop at night doing "research." For her installation, which dealt with voyeuristic disassociation, escapism, and trauma, Jane used clips from adult videos, which she obtained by going to a store called "Stan's," which had been recommended to her by (now deceased) artist Mike Kelley, who had been a CalArts faculty member. Jane was at Stan's in East Hollywood only one time, for less than 30 minutes, in the daytime. Stan supported the LA Art Community; when Jane saw an unused "money box" behind the desk, Stan donated it to her for her installation. There was no late night research. - Salpas — lying in print — wrote that Jane had hung paintings of genitalia and S&M equipment on the walls of her Masters Thesis Show at CalArts, in April 1988.
TRUTH: There were no paintings, drawings or S &M equipment hanging on the walls of Jane Rubin's MFA SHOW at CalArts, in 1988 — Jane's MFA show was minimalist visual design. Here is a slide of Jane's MFA show, (to be updated with high resolution documentation):
There were other blatant lies about Jane Rubin in Klik Magazine's article "LA Art." All of it has caused danger, abuse, and hardship to Jane Rubin, ever since. When a widely published magazine libels a woman in that way — a woman who is not wealthy and does not have a Public Relations Team protecting her — the libel provokes harassment, abuse, and professional hardship.
Jane Rubin was succeeding in the Art World, at a young age.
Other people's envy, greed, shallowness, and mental instability harmed Jane Rubin at the start of her career, and that has had a ripple effect, harming her ever since.
Additionally, in 1988, the Curator of the 3rd LACE Annuale angrily told Jane Rubin to not sue Klik.
The guest curator of the 3rd LACE Annuale was also a Curator at The Museum of Modern Art. (She later became the Curator of the UBS Paine Webber Collection). That female Curator told Jane Rubin to not worry about the dangerous libel. That Curator claimed that no one would pay attention to it. That Curator was wrong. People who do not know Jane Rubin personally — in sports, entertainment, and politics — paid attention to it, and they formed delusions about Jane Rubin. Their delusions — based on the libel in Klik — have egregiously harmed Jane Rubin and her family. Three decades later — abuse of Jane Rubin — by individuals and institutions — instigated by that libelous article in Klik — is still going on.
If Klik Magazine had libeled that female Museum Curator in the same sleazy way that they libeled Jane Rubin, that Curator, The Museum of Modern Art, and LACE, would have sued Klik Magazine immediately.
In 1988, Jane was only 25 years old and just starting her career. She was intimidated by a Curator from one of the world's most important museums, who angrily told her to forget about the libel and move on. Therefore, Jane did not sue Klik.
If Jane had sued Klik for libel, she would have won a settlement immediately.
