Description
Detail is of lower 3/4 of mural and features symbols associated with radio broadcasting, as well as writing and music. Edges of square panels are visible. "Painted at the artist studio and Centro Cultural, then taken to the Chicano Park site where they are glued on to the column H-46. This technique is introduced by Michael Schnorr, influenced by a "French" muralist, has not fared well. The community is tearing and scratching, at the surfaces. A metal flashing was used to contain the sides in coming off, creating a danger to the public. Manuel Parsons referred to this approach as "Stickies", because of the method used. This experiment of working in the artist studio, away from Chicano Park is akin to "Plop Art", no one knows when or what the art piece is until it is installed. There is no community interaction, as the work progresses. This approach seems to be very successful in Europe. Not so in Chicano Park until a better solution is found where the art is not easily torn or desecrated." Salvador Torres
