[4] Through his involvement with Regeneración, he was able to reconnect with former classmates at Garfield High, Gronk (Glugio Nicandro), Patssi Valdez, and Willie Herrón, whom he recruited to contribute to the magazine.
[7] Harry Gamboa Jr.'s artistic practice has taken numerous forms, from his collaborative performances as a part of Asco, to his individual projects and following the group's separation in 1987, his roots in activism remain prominent.
[8] The members of Asco (Spanish for "nausea") first began working collaboratively in December of 1972, conceptualizing the "walking mural" in their first performance, Stations of the Cross.
In this work, three members of the group (Herrón, Gamboa, and Gronk) dressed in exaggerated costumes of pilgrims and dragged a cardboard cross down Whittier Boulevard, leaving it at the steps of the Marine Corps Recruitment Office.
Stations of the Cross was followed by one of their most famous performances, in which they signed their names using red spray paint on the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
Another well-known work by the group, First Supper (After a Major Riot), took place on December 24, 1974, in which they staged a banquet on a traffic medium of Whittier Boulevard.
