Walking Mural performance by Asco on Whittier Bl. in East L.A. Patssi Valdez (left) as Virgen de Guadalupe-in-black, Willie Herron (center) as the mural that became bored with muralism as a static medium and decided to walk away from the wall. Gronk (right) as an Xmas tree in green chifon. The Walking Mural was performed on Dec 24, 1972
Patssi Valdez in the Walking Mural.
Untitled acrylic on cardboard work by Gronk on view at the Ahora Lo Veras exhibition at Mechicano Art Center, East L.A., Nov 1972
Opening reception for Ahora Lo Veras exhibition with works by Herron/Gronk/Gamboa. Appearing in this image are (l-r) Natividad Cisneros, Cyclona, & Gronk.
Semi-Familia, pen & ink on illustration board by Gamboa. This work appears on the back cover of REGENERACION and the original drawing was confiscated by customs officials in Mexico in 1973. Exhibited in Ahora lo Veras.
Untitled acrylic interior mural on plaster and plywood at Mechicano Art Center. This work was painted for temporary duration and was whitewashed within 30 days by its creator (Herron).
Instant Mural performance was created when Gronk taped Patssi Valdez and Humberto Sandoval to a liquor store wall in ELA. Many pedestrians and motorists offered assistance to remove the artists from the wall even though low-tack masking tape was the only adhesive which kept them in place. Instant Mural has been documented with several slides images from this series in New West magazine (1978) and MOCA 1985 catalogue.
Dia de los Muertos, 1974, at Evergreen Cemetery in Boyle Heights. Asco decided to 'crash' the quasi-religious event which was scheduled to include a mass and other pre-Columbian rituals. Asco arrived in a large envelope which had been delivered via airmail. Willie Herron appeared as a pilot-in-triplane, Gamboa as dark storm clouds and lighting bolt, Patssi Valdez was the universe, Gronk was staff photographer, and Humberto Sandoval defended the group in his Asco tank.
Suffercation was performed before a live audience and was filmed (appears in the silent Super-8 film. Asco). Gronk tapes Valdez until she can no longer see or breathe. She is eventually brought back to life. (1974)
First Supper (After A Major Riot), was performed by Asco (slide #19, l-r, Valdez, Sandoval, Herron, Gronk) on a traffic island which had been built over the site of a police mass shooting which had taken place in 1973 during a public protest demonstration which was linked to other demonstrations of that era. The site was located at Arizona street at Whittier Bl. (the mass shooting was documented by LA RAZA magazine and victims appeared on the cover of the L.A. Times in 1973. The surrounding buildings, sidewalks, and street were leveled and rebuilt, eliminating all physical evidence of the hundreds of shotgun shells which were utilized to secure order.) First Supper was Asco's all-clear signal to East L.A. in late 1974.
Asco signs their name in spray paint on all of the entrances to the L.A. County Museum of Art after being told by LACMA curator that Chicanos do not create art. Patssi stands on bridge entrance with names. This event is mentioned in the Asco essay in the CARA catlogue. 1972
