About This Lesson
In conjunction with the Asco exhibition, LACMA commissioned Willie Herrón to create a mural, "Asco: East of No West", based on Harry Gamboa Jr.'s photograph of the 1972 Asco performance "Walking Mural". "Walking Mural" was a street performance in which the artists created elaborate costumes and paraded silently along Whittier Boulevard. The new mural recalls and reinterprets that performance. It is part of a series of mural by Herrón in the alley at City Terrace Drive, behind Alvarez Bakery near Cal State LA.
