It might have seemed a simple act of vandalism. For the artists, however, a collective that operated under the name Asco, it was a defiant, if temporary, work of art.</p> <p>Earlier in the day, Gamboa had casually encountered a LACMA curator and pressed him about the absence of Chicanos (Americans of Mexican descent) from the displays of contemporary art. As the story goes, the curator dismissively responded that Chicanos didn’t produce art; they joined gangs. That night, Gamboa and his colleagues returned to the museum and sprayed their signatures on the institution’s Modernist facade. The following morning, they returned with the collective’s fourth member, Patssi Valdez, and photographed her standing alongside their handiwork. The piece, dubbed <em>Spray Paint LACMA</em>, turned the institution into a giant, conceptual work of Chicano art. The museum painted over the tags within hours, but <em>Spray Paint LACMA</em> was set to become a touchstone for generations of Chicano artists.</p> <p>Excerpt taken from <a href="http://artnews.com/issues/article.asp?art_id=3032" target="_blank">here.</a></p> <p>Come see the Asco show at <a href="http://www.lacma.org/art/exhibition/asco-elite-obscure-retrospective-1972%E2%80%931987" target="_blank">LACMA</a>, opening 9.4.11</p>http://deadbutterflies.tumblr.com/post/9080868348http://deadbutterflies.tumblr.com/post/9080868348Thu, 18 Aug 2011 08:04:45 -0700ASCOno moviesLACMAchicano artavant gardespraypaint lacma70s art80s art<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lpon8kSDm01qb572xo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Gaston Chaissac found <a href="http://stoppingoffplace.blogspot.com/2010/09/gaston-chaissac-poete-rustique-et.html" target="_blank">here</a></p>http://deadbutterflies.tumblr.com/post/8707431752http://deadbutterflies.tumblr.com/post/8707431752Tue, 09 Aug 2011 15:45:56 -0700Gaston Chaissacwriting on wallsmodern artfrench modern art<p><a href="http://thecolor12.tumblr.com/post/8387833172" target="_blank">thecolor12</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p class="MsoNormal">We had to sell what was the worst in us in order to preserve what was the best.
