Title
Tribute Mural For Laura Rodriguez (Detail)
Creator
Description
"This detail view shows the problem the Chicano Park Monumental Public Mural work process in confronting pigeons roosting at the joint of the cap beam. Salvador Torres made a research on pigeon guano, spores germinate eleven types of airborne diseases, Valley Fever is one. Salvador Torres has had a struggle from the first pigeons to arrive at the "Frijol". See #1-28, to the recent damages by the Caltrans Retrofit process that strips the metal at the column joint of the cap beam, causing a ripped, crackled top edge of 25 murals designated historical murals. Salvador Torres presses Caltrans Marty Rosen (see Salvador Torres collection) to develop a proposal to restore our work that is unfinished, flaking, and graffiti destroyed. 2002 Salvador Torres gets a call from San Diego Tribune/Union paper that a 1.6 Million dollar proposal had been approved by the State of California. Mario Torero, like many other invited guest artists that do not live in Barrio Logan, do not concern themselves with this issue, yet pigeons are shitting on their mural work." Salvador Torres
