New York was a symbol of “cultural decline” at that time and a decadent heyday of creative ingenuity and nerve. A new documentary on David Wojnarowicz embodies the fin de siècle, the arrival of the Black Swan (HIV) not only in NY but around the globe. A whole generation of artists disappeared; – those who survived, like AA Bronson or Nan Goldin, suffered on their own lonely, depressing way. For this occasion I will refrain in telling you my experience, the situation in Tokyo in those times, because Japanese readers will be ashamed. I did survive the many deaths in my life.
The legacy of Wojnarowicz, who died at the age of 37, has been assembled by film director Chris McKim, with recordings in the artist’s own voice at its core. The film’s subtitle comes from one of the artist’s most iconic, incendiary pieces, named after a homophobic cartoon that Wojnarowicz found on the street and centered in the work itself, a dreamy canvas of pastel blue and pink, “Fuck You Faggot Fucker” (1984).
For copyright reasons I will refrain in putting up his works here on ART+CULTURE. However, you can dive deeply into Wojnarowicz’s Gesamtkunstwerk via the New York gallery PPOW (and its website), which represents the artist’s estate.
