back to guerrilla basics

Still trying to figure out the "guerrilla art thing"? Take a read through Keri Smith's attempt to simplify it, along with her list of some basic formats and potential subject matter. Smith also has a book (which I've seen in stores, but have yet to personally read) entitled "The Guerilla Art Kit".

And you can't investigate guerrilla art without looking into the Guerrilla Girls, who call themselves "feminist masked avengers in the tradition of anonymous do-gooders like Robin Hood, Wonder Woman and Batman".

After flooding my brain with guerrilla-this-and-that, I'm left wondering if the At-Arts "One Night Shows" truly fall into the realm of "guerrilla"? They have the potential to, I just don't think we've pushed them far enough yet... I'm not suggesting something overly radical, illegal or anything like that, but we should try and step a little further away from the traditional exhibition. We've started to and I think that each time we host these type of events, we'll get further and further from tradition and closer to guerrilla.
