Finally, I have completed the Documentary shot last Summer documenting the creation of one of Denver’s largest murals with my good friends from the Guerilla Garden. It was wild watching it all unfold and trying to be there at the right time with the right angle, to capture it. They move so fast, I was just trying to anticipate what was next. Turns out the next thing I knew it was up on a 5 story building.

There is a lot of change in the La Alma neighborhood and I hope all the residents and community are voicing their opinion to be part of those changes.

There will be more videos and footage from the project circulating soon. I hope everyone goes and takes a walk to see the real thing, until then here are the details…

Thank you to
Kimball Crangle and the Denver Housing Authority
Brad Buchanan
Jolt, and the Guerilla Garden.
And all those who helped make this video possible.

ps. I hope to get an HD version up soon.

When I saw Barth’s paintings the first time I couldn’t help but feel like there was a reservoir of influence speaking through the shapes, images, and symbols. This is an attempt to understand how the archetypes, those forms that reappear in all cultures and throughout the ages make their way into art. Barth’s unique process of painting seems to create a canvas for the unconscious.

Here is a little peak into what’s next. I’ve been working on a Documentary with Jolt from the Guerilla Garden. He is making one of the largest Murals Denver has ever seen. The Documentary will be 30 min. and should be done very soon. There will be some screenings in Denver for the unveiling, so keep a look out on this and the Guerilla Garden blog. Thanks to the folks who have been working on this project, it’s been a real pleasure.

Here is a short look into the large Mural being painted in Denver by Jolt. For the past months he has been collecting ideas for his mural by talking and working with community members in and around the South Lincoln Projects. The idea being to create a visual that represents the neighborhood, something organic that grows from the collective spirit of the community. Please check out his blog at www.guerillagarden.blogspot.com to watch the project develop, and see “the urban landscape naturalize.”

I found this film in an old attic in the remote town of my late grandfather. The house was half caved in, but I saw an old metal film tin. Inside was this footage, deteriorated, but in salvageable condition. Digitally remastering the film cost a small fortune, but it was worth the trouble. It was the raw footage, but I believe I was able to reconstruct the story truthfully. After a lot of research I found an odd biography about the main actor Israel Cuhen in the archives of an Argentinean library, more on that another time.
What is so stunning that no one cares about my find.
