Speaking of subversion, a group of us in Boulder Colorado have¨
been erecting large political guerrilla sculptures in public¨
places. I did a slide show of some pieces at the last¨
FUGAZI/HOMOCORE show in SR, and've included a coupla photos¨
{\it[which may or may not be included seeing how I mighta lost¨
'em -- tj]} for this article. These projects are done in the¨
middle of the night, and left for the general populace to¨
``enjoy'', and for the ``authorities'' to remove. Zu Zu's is {\it¨
not} a particular group, and we encourage everyone everywhere to¨
engage in these activities. Our concept is simply not to destroy¨
public property, and not to endanger the general public. Just¨
leave them something pretty to look at and think about.

Recently we hung two huge banners about 70 feet above Boulder¨
Canyon Road between two cliffs. On the left was a giant American¨
flag with a staring Eye of Horus instead of stars, and on the¨
right a huge ``parchment'' reading:

\vskip\parskip
{\obeylines\parskip=0pt
\centerline{BILL OF RIGHTS}

\vskip\parskip

\centerline{1. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT}
\centerline{anything you say can and will}
\centerline{be used against you.}
}

Beneath this the banner was burnt. We used bedsheets, paint, and¨
400 feet of 1/4 inch nylon rope (for strength in the wind).¨
Secured short lengths of stronger rope on the cliffs the day¨
before, then climbed at midnight, tied two 200-foot lengths with¨
banners bundled on the far ends, dropped 'em to the road, tied¨
'em together, unfurled the banners, and pulled 'em up. This¨
project was filmed and we were interviewed by Channel 2 News from¨
Denver, who should air a 2-\frac12\ minute feature story within¨
the week. Ahh, the sweet smell of media manipulation.

Above this article is the Zu Zu's tag we've been using to sign¨
our recent projects. Anyone should feel free to use it. Below¨
I've listed a few useful tips for the novice Guerrilla Sculptor.

{\bf Tips for Sculpture Projects:}

{\parindent=12pt
\item{\blob} Investigate the site for useful features, problems,¨
escape routes.

\item{\blob} Prepare as much as possible beforehand.

\item{\blob} Install attachment devices (bolts, wires, \&c)¨
beforehand if possible. Battery-powered hand drills with¨
screwdriver bits and drywall screws are very useful.

\item{\blob} Erect your piece as quickly and quietly as possible,¨
within the limits of safety.

\item{\blob} Use lookouts.

\item{\blob} Friday nights between midnight--2am are the best¨
times to put one up. Cops are busy then with drunks. Also, city¨
works (who usually take the sculptures down) have the weekend¨
off.

\item{\blob} Spend as little as necessary. Dumpster and scrounge¨
for items.


\item{\blob} When considering methods of erection, think¨
ENGINEERING.

\item{\blob} ALWAYS consider the public's safety.
