However, this is far from the reality of the L.A. art scene in the 1970s. The passing of those fashionable 1960s-era icons, in fact, allowed the development of a chaotic array of outlandish and independent voices, marginalized communities, and energetic, sometimes bizarre visions that thrived during the stagnant 1970s. Fallon's narrative describes and celebrates, through twelve thematically arranged chapters, the wide range of intriguing artists and the world--not just the objects--they created. 505 0 $a Introduction : Confusion, Uncertainty, and the Southern Californian Origins of Art's Postmodern Plurality -- A DEW Line for the Old Culture : 1971, the "Art and Technology" exhibition, and the End of L.A.'s Modernist Daydreams -- The Long March : The Rise of Women Artists -- Viva Mi Raza! : The Rise of Chicano Artists -- A Laminar Flow at the Edges : Or, Anger and Dissent in the early 1970s Art Scene -- Not an Energy Crisis : L.A.'s Explosion in Conceptual and Performance Art -- "Devil with a Hammer and Hell with a Torch" : How L.A.'s Street Culture Inspired a New "Lowbrow" Art Movement -- The Horizontal City : Public Art in the Landscape of L.A. -- The Mongols in the West : A Trio of Outsiders Quietly Subvert the L.A.
