    Asco (art collective)

    Asco was an East Los Angeles based Chicano artist collective, active from 1972 to 1987. Asco adopted its name as a collective in1973, making a direct reference to the word’s significance in Spanish ("asco"), which is disgust or repulsion. Asco’s work throughout 1970s and 1980s responded specifically to socioeconomic and political problems surrounding the Chicano community in the United States, as well the Vietnam War.Harry Gamboa, Jr., Glugio "Gronk" Nicandro, Willie Herrón and Patssi Valdez form the core members of the group.

    Origins

    Political and Cultural Influences

    The term Asco functions as a means of contextualizing and responding to the effects of the Vietnam war. This era, which art historian Arthur C. Danto has described as an era of revulsion, compelled young people to seek a new vocabulary for opposition through the growing importance of media, the impact of public mobilization, and new modes drawn from Happenings and spontaneous “be-ins”. Socio-economic and regional factors additionally gave cause for revulsion. The shifting landscape of East Los Angeles during the 70s was particularly influential in Asco’s work. The construction of freeway interchanges and the retention of walls dividing formerly connected neighborhoods fostered a hostile environment. Asco as a group was part of what Raul Homero Villa deems the “expressway generation”, a generation aware and affected by how public policies and urban planning could create conditions of disparity and stratification both economically and geographically.

It is approximately 26 km (16 mi) from Mequinenza, 4.7 km (2.9 mi) from Flix, 8.6 km (5.3 mi) from Riba-roja d'Ebre and 16 km (9.9 mi) from Gandesa, in the area where the Battle of the Ebro was fought during the Spanish civil war. The terrain is a mixture of flatland, hills, mountains, forests and farmland.

    Ballad Of Richard K

    by: Asg

    Keep down by the ones who sat by your side
    Guts blushing on a night shadow lonley pize
    In the house with no home, cut to size
    Hoplessly divided
    I bent down into the knife
    In the path of my foes, left to die
    Visions of the highway
    I bent back into the light
    Well your god won't smile
    And your conscience can't sleep
    Someone in the wind as fire flies
    against your sheild
    What if i killed you all
    Would it build me up
    Someone in the wind as fire flies
    Against your sheild
    Ten seconds till the blackout parts with his crime
    Got money don't buy in, dont buy the light
    In the house with no home, cut to size
    Hoplessly divided
    I bent down into the knife
    Well your god won't smile
    And your conscience can't sleep
    Someone in the wind as fire flies
    Against your sheild
    What if i killed you all
    Would it build me up
    Someone in the wind as fire flies
    Against your sheild
    Lay down, got rythem
    Where trying to find it
    On stage like a luminous gunner
    Where trying to find it
    Well your god won't smile
    And your conscience can' sleep
    Someone in the wind as fire flies
    Against your sheild
    What if i killed you all
    Would it build me up
    Someone in the wind as fire flies
