 Bidlo had studied the Namuth photographs and films and he worked from reproductions, to scale using as close to the original medium used by Pollock as possible.Bidlo also created a series of “NOT Pollock” drip paintings in a small square format on masonite, many of which he shared in the Pier 34 experiment.The Pier 34 project was co-organized by Mike Bidlo and David Wojnarowicz and lasted from 1983 to 1984 until it was closed by the police.
