2. Assholes Guide
An Antagonists' Guide To The Assholes Of Los Angeles
Llano Del Rio Collective (www.ldrg.wordpress.com)
Free Guide #3, Available Now
Co-produced with Content-Object

A surprisingly pleasurable Antagonist’s Guide To the Assholes Of Los Angeles. This freebie (within LA) traces a history, theory, and sites for creative agonistic art and political practice in LA. The guide annotates over 80 places; banks, businesses, politicians and polluters, war contractors, institutions, a troll, a yeller, a cruel mis-dial, a bad thumb-job. The list was sourced through an open public call and research. The guide frames for its users sites worthy of creative exploration throughout Los Angeles. We hope your practice benefits from it.
Produced by the Llano Del Rio Collective
 
Copies available for purchase at Half Letter Press.

# We had assholes, now how about a Pocho Research Society Field Guide to LA. On the monuments and murals of ersased and invisible histories of Chicano LA.
 
# we said it before, we'll say it again... Beautiful Trouble by Or Books is really worth a read. A simple and complex how-to
guide for creative activism. The book is incredibly well indexed and documents the ideas and projects and creative frames of many wonderfully experienced North American Activists. Really, a must see.
 
# Disturbances: Critical Art Ensemble... a little expensive, but very nice. A long look back, from their days under the Florida sun up until now.
 
# Elyse Emdur's Prison Landscapes
