Asco at Williams College Museum of Art Fine Arts
Where’s Gronk?
By: - Mar 04th, 2012After high school in East LA four Chicano friends- Harry Gamboa, Jr,, Gronk, Willie F. Herron III, and Patssi Valdez- hung out and made conceptual, graphic and performance art together. The initial reactions of their community were expressed by the Spanish work Asco- disgust, vomit, revulsion. They liked the word which stuck with them. It was used for the movement which was active, under the art world radar from 1972-1987. Now the ephemera and documents of that transient expression are the subject of a bi coastal project between the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Williams College Museum of Art.

Oscar Wilde in Witness Protection

Oscars on Crystal Film
An Album of Memories
By: - Feb 27th, 2012The Oscars were back on track with the return of comic Billy Crystal as host for the ninth time. While providing some stability after the fiasco of recent years the evening proved to be mostly geriatric and enervating.
