Asco set about through performance, public art, and multimedia to respond to turbulent sociopolitical times in Los Angeles, actions that ran parallel to the larger international context. Geographically and culturally segregated from the still nascent Los Angeles contemporary art scene and aesthetically at odds with the emerging Chicano art movement, Asco united to explore and exploit the broad spectrum of the conceptual. The publication provides a panoramic view of Asco’s nearly twenty years of artistic output through reproductions of previously unpublished art works, critical essays by art historians, and historical documents.\u003c?xml:namespace prefix = \"o\" ns = \"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office\" \/\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003eExhibition schedule: Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles, September 4–December 4, 2011| Williams College Museum of Art, Williamstown, MA, February 4–July 29, 2012 | \u003cSPAN lang=EN-GB style=\"FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB\"\u003e\u003cFONT size=3\u003eNEMA Annual Conference, \u003c?xml:namespace prefix = \"st1\" ns = \"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags\" \/\u003e\u003cst1:City w:st=\"on\"\u003e\u003cst1:place w:st=\"on\"\u003eBurlington\u003c\/st1:place\u003e\u003c\/st1:City\u003e, November 7–9, 2012\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44874862035208,"sku":"9783775730037","price":39.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775730037_a07fbde2-3c8c-4605-bf80-682fe1dcb048.jpg?v=1744037692","url":"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/16773-asco","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
