These excavations concern 1967 - 1972 underground film and poetry activities by Al Razutis in California, at Intermedia (Vancouver), and in other Vancouver, Canada locations. Due to the scarcity of recorded or remaining material (images), this archive is an in-progress work and is intended as a factual supplement to biographical material. |
