After the show, Gordy Grundy intended to literally BURN the remaining artwork. A creator not a destroyer, the artist then decided to give away over 160 artworks on canvas, works on paper, monoprints and etchings. Working the art events of the weekend, he caused a ruckus near Blum and Poe at a Culver City Art Walk, the Echo Park townsquare, Silverlake along Sunset and the Artillery Magazine Debates. Shiva! Burn!
A Brillo Soap Box and one painting will be burned for a video work. The ashes will be made into charcoal and used in a series of self-portraits. BURN!
