great post,
joe, the first time I saw any Jesper Just was when I wandered into a retrospective of sorts in the Rotterdam contempoartc. I think for such sensual work it needs to be shown really richly and generously.

Everyone in NYC should go see the Aernout Mik show at MoMA
― Garri$on Kilo (Hurting 2), Thursday, 21 May 2009 03:29 (fifteen years ago) link
while at MoMA, go see the Paul Graham exhibit and the photographs of the American West.
Right now is like the perfect storm in nyc for exhibits that are in my wheelhouse, and therefore I am thinking about the following artists:
Richard PrinceLouise LawlerJenny HolzerBarbara Kruger

Except the problem would be, once I get a full pile I know I'd never even touch it, let alone let people take candy, pretty much voiding the work.
I think I'd like to read up on Cy Twombly this summer. . .

Back to Felix-Gonzales Torres hypermode!
I was just awarded a fellowship (!!!) to do research on artistic forms of representation and mourning amid the AIDS crisis, so at last I'll get to really get busy on FGT, but also Robert Gober! This isn't a field of interest I'm too well versed on, so if anyone else has particularly apposite examples...

That is, of other artists dealing with aids in non-obvious, highly coded ways.

I know he's kind of old news, but I've been thinking about Mark Ryden lately:

@EDB - If it's not too far afield, your study could encompass musical responses to AIDS such as Diamanda Galas' Plague Mass and Bob Ostertag's All the Rage.

My Ostertag and Galas examples fail the "non-obvious, highly-coded" test, so never mind!

kinda makes sense that people who were directly thinking about aids would be more didactic in their approach whereas other queer artist thinking about the body etc. favour strategies recontextualisation/subversion as an analogue for like cruising/subversive sites of pleasure or whatevs. FGT kind of just sits at the intersection between Tom Burr/Roni Horn queer appropriations of Minimalism and General Idea style agit prop.

― Scelsi Hotel (Paul in Santa Cruz), Monday, May 24, 2010 10:44 AM (3 hours ago) Bookmark Suggest Ban Permalink I'm very interested in this, and think I'm actually going to make an ILM thread about it, especially given my interests in house and disco during this time. However, given the fellowship's theme of "image and spectacle", I'll be specifically writing on strategies of representing the AIDS infected body such that the imposition of Ronald Reaganian Silence and the shutting down of Mapplethorpe exhibitions, etc. can be circumvented (in a way that does differ from General Idea style agit prop, i.e. the sort of explicitness of say ACT UP. In the space between silence and silencable, if you know what I mean).
If I may quote FGT: “Two clocks side by side are much more threatening to the powers that be than an image of two guys sucking each other’s dicks, because they cannot use me as a rallying point in their battle to erase meaning. It is going to be very difficult for members of Congress to tell their constituents that money is being expended for the promotion of homosexual art when all they have to show are two plugs side by side, or two mirrors side by side, or two light bulbs side by side.”
