From VC Star, 1981: "Joe Cardella, who produced an internationally recognized art publication for 25 years and was an integral part of Ventura’s arts community, died Tuesday night.Friend, collaborator and end-of-life doula Dina Pielaet said the esophageal cancer that had been in remission since late last year had returned with a fury only weeks before.Cardella was involved in art on a number of levels, but most prominently, he had published ARTLIFE 11 times a year starting in 1981. The publication, assembled in his midtown Ventura home, included collages, photographs, drawings and poetry from artists around the world. About one in five pieces came from Ventura County artists, according to a 1997 article in The Star, giving them international exposure.Ventura artist MB Hanrahan’s work appeared in several issues of ARTLIFE, and she worked with Cardella in several other spaces. She remembers going to the Guggenheim Museum in New York City and seeing the publication. "
