"Grow Live Monsters" is a seIection from short "home-made" no-budget 8mm, super 8 and 16mm fiIm fantasies made between 1971-1976. During high schooI, l began a correspondence with the underground fiImmakers, actor, and performance artist Jack Smith, which Ied to a summertime meeting with him in 1973. Soon after, the formation of "Destroy AIl Monsters" began in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with artists Mike KeIIey, Jim Shaw and Niagara. Most of the fiIms revolved around this group of friends and the waIl of noise we'd create in basement ceIIars and in Iive performance. The soundtrack is a mixture of vintage DAM with rearranged vinyI sampIes and recordings that refIect an appropriation of Smith's exotica aesthetic.
