Antic was a magazine of literary and visual arts criticism and discussion published between 1986 and 1990. There were seven issues in total. This statement was published in the first issue: The idea for this magazine was first floated at the ANZART Feminist Art Seminar in May 1985.

Antic is exploring issues in critical practice, theory, and related work in fiction; encouraging dialogue between disparate disciplines, approaches and texts.
