Podcasts about David Wojnarowicz

In this audio essay, I roam from post-war France to the abstract expressionists to the artists of the East Village and even to outer space to consider times in art history when art was forced to bloom in the dark. These under-the-radar moments yielded deeply experimental work, and I wonder how we might channel some of that spirit in our own time.Artists mentioned: Laurie Anderson, Joan Miro, Jean Dubuffet, Marcel Duchamp, David Wojnarowicz, and Judy GlantzmanScientists mentioned: Robert H Dicke, Jim PeeblesJim Peebles interviewed by Alan Lightman for the American Institute of Physics January 19, 1988 Princeton, NJ: https://www.aip.org/history-programs/niels-bohr-library/oral-histories/33957All music by Soundstripe----------------------------Pep Talks on IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@peptalksforartists⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pep Talks website: https://www.peptalksforartists.com/Amy, your beloved host, on IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@talluts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pep Talks on Art Spiel as written essays: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tinyurl.com/7k82vd8s⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BuyMeACoffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Donations always appreciated!

- Peter Hujar pochodził z bardzo przemocowego domu. Z kolei ojciec Davida Wojnarowicza był polskim marynarzem, który specjalnie nie zajmował się swoją rodziną. Wojnarowicz wyniósł więc z domu młodzieńczą traumę i poczucie odtrącenia czy po prostu zaniedbania. Myślę, że Hujar mu to w pewnym sensie wynagrodził - mówiła w Dwójce prof. Joanna Krakowska, autorka książki "Odmieńcza rewolucja. Performans na cudzej ziemi".

In this episode of High Theory, Laura Stamm talks about the biopic. One of the oldest forms of narrative cinema, biographical pictures are a mainstay of the medium today. Early biopics played an important role in public health discourse, representing the discoveries of science and the lives of scientists, which in turn led queer artists to adopt the genre in response to the AIDS crisis. Laura's book, The Queer Biopic in the AIDS Era (Oxford UP, 2022), asks why queer filmmakers repeatedly produced biographical films of queer individuals living and dead throughout the years surrounding the AIDS crisis. These films evoke the genre's history building up lives worthy of admiration and emulation and the parallel history of representing lives damaged. By portraying lives damaged by inconceivable loss, queer filmmakers challenge the illusion of a coherent self presumably reinforced by the biopic genre and in doing so, their films open the potential for new means of connection and relationality. In the episode Laura references many films, including the Greta Garbo film Queen Christina (1933); Freud: The Secret Passion (1962); The Story of Louis Pasteur (1936); Dr. Ehrlich's Magic Bullet (1940); John Greyson's musical Zero Patience (1993); and the Amy Winehouse biopic Back to Black (2024). Her research extends beyond the 1980s moment of crisis, and in the episode she gives a good explainer pre-code Hollywood and (briefly) the New Queer Cinema of the 1990s.

Laura Stamm is Assistant Professor of Health Humanities and Bioethics and Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for Department of Medicine at University of Rochester. She completed her PhD in Film and Media Studies and Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies at the University of Pittsburgh. Dr. Stamm's research interests broadly focuses on LGBTQ+ health, transgender studies, and medicine in visual culture.

Truly an artist who needs no introduction to the No Tags universe, Midland is also one of the nicest people we know in this bottomless viper pit called dance music.Harry Agius has been a constant presence on the dancefloor since we were first finding our feet as music writers, and we've followed him every step of the way – from his early run of steppy house records on Aus Music and Phonica, to ‘Final Credits' mania in 2016, and his current incarnation as something of a grande dame of gay club culture.That role is one he's grown into slowly but surely, as he explains to us in this episode, and it blossoms into something very special on his debut album Fragments Of Us. It's far from your typical wham-bam, nine-tracks-and-an-ambient-interlude dance music long-player. Constructed around gay voices past and present – including ‘80s artist and Aids activist David Wojnarowicz, mould-breaking Black filmmaker Marlon Riggs, and Luke Howard of London institution Horse Meat Disco – it's a genuinely personal record that's also a kind of time capsule for future generations.We talked to Harry about growing into his identity as a gay DJ, the many, many reasons to turn down a gig, and whether Arthur Russell would have liked dubstep. Plus, he loves his films! We get an excellent recommendation and confirmation, if it were needed, that he's #PartyGirlHive.As ever, if you enjoyed this episode of No Tags, please do rate, review and subscribe on your go-to podcast app, as it does really help.

Abby and Patrick are joined by academic, journalist, and critic Sara Marcus, author of the 2023 book Political Disappointment: A Cultural History from Reconstruction to the AIDS Crisis. After recalling their own experiences of political letdowns – infantile, adolescent, and all-too-recent – they explore how Sara's notion of disappointment as “untimely desire” involves something other than disillusionment or a loss of faith. Rather, as Marcus explains, disappointment involves an ongoing relationship towards an object, and can be a simultaneous opportunity for mourning, determination, creativity, and more. They unpack experiences of such disappointment across the twentieth century, tracking in particular their musical and audio archives – from the “Sorrow Songs” studied by W.E.B. DuBois to the exquisite nonverbals of Lead Belly to the monologues and Tracy Chapman bootlegs recorded by the artist and AIDS activist David Wojnarowicz. And they also get into the traps of utopianism, Melanie Klein, and the possibility of a “good enough” political subjectivity, with cameos by Fleetwood Mac, Bon Jovi, Peter Paul & Mary, and more along the way. Have you noticed that Freud is back?

Moving from the aftermath of Reconstruction through the AIDS crisis, a new cultural history of the United States shows how artists, intellectuals, and activists turned political disappointment--the unfulfilled desire for change--into a basis for solidarity. Sara Marcus argues that the defining texts in twentieth-century American cultural history are records of political disappointment. Through insightful and often surprising readings of literature and sound, Marcus offers a new cultural history of the last century, in which creative minds observed the passing of moments of possibility, took stock of the losses sustained, and fostered intellectual revolutions and unexpected solidarities. Political Disappointment: A Cultural History from Reconstruction to the AIDS Crisis (Harvard UP, 2023) shows how, by confronting disappointment directly, writers and artists helped to produce new political meanings and possibilities. Marcus first analyzes works by W. E. B. Du Bois, Charles Chesnutt, Pauline Hopkins, and the Fisk Jubilee Singers that expressed the anguish of the early Jim Crow era, during which white supremacy thwarted the rebuilding of the country as a multiracial democracy. In the ensuing decades, the Popular Front work songs and stories of Lead Belly and Tillie Olsen, the soundscapes of the civil rights and Black Power movements, the feminist poetry of Audre Lorde and Adrienne Rich, and the queer art of Marlon Riggs and David Wojnarowicz continued building the century-long archive of disappointment. Marcus shows how defeat time and again gave rise to novel modes of protest and new forms of collective practice, keeping alive the dream of a better world. Disappointment has proved to be a durable, perhaps even inevitable, feature of the democratic project, yet so too has the resistance it precipitates. Marcus's unique history of the twentieth century reclaims the unrealized desire for liberation as a productive force in American literature and life. Learn more about your ad choices.

Moving from the aftermath of Reconstruction through the AIDS crisis, a new cultural history of the United States shows how artists, intellectuals, and activists turned political disappointment--the unfulfilled desire for change--into a basis for solidarity. Sara Marcus argues that the defining texts in twentieth-century American cultural history are records of political disappointment. Through insightful and often surprising readings of literature and sound, Marcus offers a new cultural history of the last century, in which creative minds observed the passing of moments of possibility, took stock of the losses sustained, and fostered intellectual revolutions and unexpected solidarities. Political Disappointment: A Cultural History from Reconstruction to the AIDS Crisis (Harvard UP, 2023) shows how, by confronting disappointment directly, writers and artists helped to produce new political meanings and possibilities. Marcus first analyzes works by W. E. B. Du Bois, Charles Chesnutt, Pauline Hopkins, and the Fisk Jubilee Singers that expressed the anguish of the early Jim Crow era, during which white supremacy thwarted the rebuilding of the country as a multiracial democracy. In the ensuing decades, the Popular Front work songs and stories of Lead Belly and Tillie Olsen, the soundscapes of the civil rights and Black Power movements, the feminist poetry of Audre Lorde and Adrienne Rich, and the queer art of Marlon Riggs and David Wojnarowicz continued building the century-long archive of disappointment. Marcus shows how defeat time and again gave rise to novel modes of protest and new forms of collective practice, keeping alive the dream of a better world. Disappointment has proved to be a durable, perhaps even inevitable, feature of the democratic project, yet so too has the resistance it precipitates.

Andrew Leland joins Kate Wolf and Medaya Ocher to talk about his first book, The Country of the Blind: A Memoir at the End of Sight. The book recounts Leland's experience of gradually losing his vision due to a condition called retinitis pigmentosa, which eventually results in blindness. The knowledge that it's not a question of if, but when he will become blind, leads him to a deeper investigation of blindness itself: how it is represented in literature, language, and media; what its political and racial dimensions are; the connection it has to technology and innovation; how it can both shape identity and also feel incidental to it. Most importantly, Leland relates the ways blindness is actually experienced by the many people he meets and writes about in his book. Their testimonies help him reckon with the two worlds he finds himself in—the blind and the sighted—and close the gap between them. Also, Heidi Julavits, author of Directions To Myself, returns to recommend David Wojnarowicz's Close to the Knives: A Memoir of Disintegration.

Ben & Norm are joined by SFB's first guest. Writer and bookseller Aimee from Burning House Books drops by to talk Pride & couches, football, accidentally getting @'d by the First Minister of Scotland and the ensuing toilet bowl of her mentions, the working class experience of reading, urban decay, financialisation, and the pure uncut diamond genius of David Wojnarowicz. We'll be back soon to continue the conversation with Aimee and probably read some bits from Wojnarowicz's titan of a book, Close to the Knives (1991).

Aimee from Burning House Books joins us again in part two of our mini-series on David Wojnarowicz's rocket launcher of a memoir, Close to the Knives (1991). We read some key passages of the book aloud then talk about the AIDS crisis (in the US and UK vs. the 'other' parts of the world) and Covid, America's idea of itself as what Wojnarowicz called a 'ONE-TRIBE NATION', what the state's violent neglect of its own citizens can tell us about the rise of neoliberalism and the outsourcing of sickness and vulnerability, and finally what a revolutionary individuality might look like.

We kick off our final month of weekly shows with a shorts film week for the ages. We get weird (and I mean WEIRD) with three very strange short films guaranteed to put you in a bizarre head space. Up first, NYC art weirdos Tommy Turner and David Wojnarowicz create a surreal, lo-fi black & white drug trip loosely based on the (then very recent) murder case involving the Long Island satanic teenage acid head Ricky Kasso in Where Evil Dwells from 1985.Next, we visit the weirdest yard sale ever where everything is too expensive and you must do business with a strange man in a gold mask known only as The Pricemaster.And finally, we're transported to the blandest office in the world, where things are very dry, including the lunch in the 2014 web series Catherine starring Jenny Slate.All this plus weird weather, Kevin goes to the movies, Portland Paul runs down his hits and misses, Cocaine Bear chat, nudie cuties and so much more!LISTEN NOW:MP3 Direct DonloydAlso, if you like the show, please take a minute and subscribe and/or comment on us on iTunes, Stitcher, Blubrry or Podfeed.net.

After Queen singer Freddie Mercury's death in the fall of 1991, musicians confronted the AIDS crisis head-on. The band's remaining members and a star-studded lineup celebrated the frontman's legacy at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert in spring 1992. Hip-hop trio Salt-N-Pepa reworked their single “Let's Talk About Sex” into “Let's Talk About AIDS” for an ABC special. R&B newcomers TLC appeared on talk shows with condoms emblazoned on their flashy attire. Meanwhile, the compilation album Red Hot + Dance—featuring three exclusive tracks from George Michael—set out to raise awareness about safe sex and LGBTQ rights and raise funds for AIDS charities. Also in 1992: U2 released their anthemic ballad “One,“ partly inspired by HIV-positive artist and activist David Wojnarowicz; Madonna called for frank discussions about queerness and desire with her controversial photo book Sex and groundbreaking album Erotica; and Elton John launched the Elton John AIDS Foundation, which would become one of the largest HIV-related funders in the world. But as a 1992 New York Times article declared, tackling AIDS was a “creative and ethical minefield” for pop stars. In this episode, we look at the various ways they navigated it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When Christine Brown, a young bank loan officer, must decide whether to grant a third extension on the loan of one Sylvia Ganush, who's already defaulted on two – she's in a real quandary. She really wants that Assistant Manager position, and Stu Rubin seems to have the inside track with her boss, Mr. Jacks. But Christine's determined, and so, with all the heartlessness she can muster, she denies Mrs. Ganush the extension. It's a decision that will come to haunt her – for Mrs. Ganush curses Christine with the Lamia, an ancient goat spirit that makes Christine's life a living hell. The only solution: the sacrifice of an animal, and giving away the cursed object. Will a kindly medium, Rham Jas, be able to help Christine? Will the woman who met the Lamia years before, Shaun Sen Dena, be able to lend her expertise? Will Christine's psychology professor boyfriend Clay ever figure out what's going on? What will stop the spirit's relentless assault, and put a button on Christine's nightmare?

En este primer Arte compacto con público en The Social Hub Barcelona hablamos de Keith Haring y de los días que pasó en Barcelona en febrero de 1989, poco antes de morir por complicaciones derivadas del sida. Hablamos de dibujos con tiza en el metro de la ciudad de Nueva York, muñequitos aparentemente simples que encierran mensajes con mucho significado, relaciones con la obra del Bosco (que le flipó en el Prado), su admiración por Andy Warhol, salseos con David Wojnarowicz y un buen amigo hetero llamado Gil Vazquez que hoy ayuda a perpetuar su legado.

59. Carrying ¿Puede una enfermedad sacudir la historia del arte? Hoy abrazamos a varios artistas que en los años 70 y 80 vivieron en primera persona los primeros años del sida en Nueva York y en España. Artistas del colectivo LGTBIQ+ como Andy Warhol, Robert Mapplethorpe, Keith Haring, Peter Hujar, David Wojnarowicz y el cordobés Pepe Espaliú. Todos, cada uno a su manera, se enfrentaron a la estigmatización, a la soledad y el miedo a contraer una enfermedad que tenía un solo final posible: la muerte. En ellos, la relación entre vida –enfermedad propia o de sus amigos más cercanos– y obra está muy diluida porque en ese contexto sus vidas fueron inevitablemente también sus obras.

It's the landmark 25th episode of Crisis Twink, and I'm releasing it early as a treat for all the listeners who have tuned in so far! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this pod community so much fun, and I'm excited for all the incredible guests and declining culture to come. It's also the funniest and craziest episode yet as Drew welcomes Chicago legend Eddie Byrne to discuss this week's cultural emergency: Christy Carlson Romano's YouTube channel. The girlies freak out about her calmly vengeful storytelling style, the Barbpocalypse, whether or not David Wojnarowicz would've liked the Met Gala, and Connecticut girls. All this and more on the twenty-fifth episode of Crisis Twink: the only podcast intelligent and sexy enough to fix a culture in crisis. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/crisis-twink/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/crisis-twink/support

The artist and writer David Wojnarowicz, who died in 1992 at age of 37 from complications of AIDS, is best remembered for his political activism and his vibrant, confrontational paintings. Yet in her 2016 book The Lonely City, author Olivia Laing writes movingly about Wojnarowicz as a figure haunted by loneliness, a condition that inspired to him to fashion his work into a vehicle for visibility and connection. As part of our celebration of Pride month, writer Alex Halberstadt recently spoke with Laing—whose latest is Everybody: A Book About Freedom—about David Wojnarowicz's life, legacy, and the desire for connection that animated his incandescent writing and art. 

About this episodeIt can be difficult for writers to learn to put our stories front and center. That was originally the case with today's guest, Lilly Dancyger. She originally set out to memorialize her father, Joe Schactman, through a book that would feature artwork and stories she'd collected from friends.Schactman was a highly original artist and sculptor who was part of the same 1980s East Village art scene that included David Wojnarowicz and Jean-Michel Basquiat. He was a loving father but also struggled with addiction; he died when Dancyger was only 12.“I kept saying the book I was writing was an artist monograph, but every day the words stared back at me, so clearly, defiantly, a memoir,” she writes an essay entitled “Not a Memoir.” Through a long process spanning several years, however, she decided to foreground her own story, alongside that of her father.One big shift was learning to think of her memoir as more of a detective novel, where her 10+ year search to find out more about her father led to think of each interview or event as a “clue” that furthered the plot, and added “stakes” to the story.Lilly Dancyger is the author of the memoir, Negative Space, as well as the editor of the anthology Burn It Down: Women Writing About Anger. She lives and works in NYC.Discussed on this episodeNegative Space (memoir) Bookshop | IndieBound | Barnes & Noble | AmazonMemoir as Detective Novel (essay)Writing & Publishing Addiction Narratives Workshop (with Erin Khar)Not a Memoir (essay)Melissa Febos: Abandon Me (Excerpt)LillyDancyger.comCreditsThis episode was edited by Paul Zakrzewski and produced by Magpie Audio Productions.

Jim Cunningham spoke with Mattress Factory Senior Archivist Sarah Hallet and Digitization Archivist Sinéad Bligh.  Over the last two years, the Mattress Factory has worked to digitize the Greer Lankton Archive in a project funded through the Council on Library and Information Resources and in partnership with the University of Pittsburgh. The online finding aid is the culmination of this work and will make publicly accessible Lankton's artistic development, artwork and exhibitions, along with her relationships to her friends and contemporaries, including Nan Goldin, David Wojnarowicz and Peter Hujar. The Greer Lankton Archive is an assemblage of over 15,000 materials collected from the work of artist Greer Lankton, a significant and underrecognized artist in the radical art scene of New York City's East Village during the 1980s. Lankton's exhibitions and performances included those at PS1, Club 57, Pyramid Club, Franklyn Furnace, Civilian Warfare Gallery, Hal Bromm Gallery and the Whitney Biennial NYC. She also exhibited across the US and Europe, including in the UK, Austria and the Venice Biennale. This April, the Mattress Factory presents “It's All About Greer Lankton,” a FREE event series leading up to the launch of an online finding aid to celebrate the famed artist Greer Lankton. The series will culminate in Greer's Birthday Bash on April 21st - what would have been Greer's 64th birthday. This free community day will mark the official launch of the Greer Lankton Collection Finding Aid. Admission to the Museum is free all day, with events and programming taking place from 3-7 PM. They also spoke about the latest exhibits at the archive, the café and shop and new  coffee and restaurant additions to the cultural scene on the North Side.

Hace unos días Juanra Sanz fue a la peluquería y volvió a casa con un pequeño libro titulado 'Nadie miraba hacia aquí. Un ensayo sobre arte y VIH/sida'. Inmediatamente decidimos que queríamos traer al podcast a su autora, Andrea Galaxina, para que nos hablase sobre arte activista antisida, el que se produjo a partir de 1981, cuando a quienes estaban en el poder no parecía importarles lo más mínimo que miles de personas perdiesen la vida por el llamado “cáncer gay”. Como reacción, en Estados Unidos movimientos como ACT UP (AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power) y su subgrupo Gran Fury afinaron las herramientas del arte para llevar las protestas de la comunidad LGTBIQ+ al espacio público con la intención de que sus voces fueran escuchadas: el póster SILENCE = DEATH; la campaña KISSING DOESN'T KILL; el cartel ENJOY AZT, que imitaba un anuncio de Coca-cola; o la famosa cazadora con el triángulo y el mensaje “If I die of AIDS – forget burial – just drop my body on the steps of the F.D.A.”, dedicado a la Federal Drug Administration, que vistió David Wojnarowicz para la protesta de 1988 en la sede estatal del organismo en Maryland.

In the second half of episode 12 — for patrons and subscribers only — Tish, Adam and Holly Lewis focus on questions of art, culture and individual subjectivity as they relate to the pandemic, the idea of the working-class seizing virtual technologies, automatic writing vs. anxiety and death, haunting the rich, revenge and utopia, the sculpting of revolutionary and counter-revolutionary violence, the futurity of the doomed, blockchain, video games, and the loss of texture in the virtual world. They also discuss the dynamic of collective and individual imagining and the warm stream of Marxism. Books, articles, stories and pamphlets discussed: “Alain Badiou: ‘People cling onto identities… it is a world opposed to the encounter,'” Verso blog (2014); Albert Camus, The Plague; Mike Davis, The Monster Enters: COVID-19, Avian Flu, and the Plagues of Capitalism (Verso, 2022); Hal Draper, The Mind of Clark Kerr (October 1964); Mary Shelley, The Last Man; Nathaniel Hawthorne, “Roger Malvin's Burial” (1832); Washington Irving, “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” (1820); Karl Marx, The Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844; Karl Marx, The German Ideology (1845-46). Artworks discussed: The Born Again Labor Museum's Communist Manifesto Redistribution Project and Cat Without a Grin; Pieter Bruegel the Elder's The Triumph of Death (1562); medieval plague crucifixes; the agit-prop of Gran Fury and Act Up; exquisite corpses; David Wojnarowicz, Untitled (Buffalo) (1988); Anupam Roy's Exodus series; Labani Jangi's Exodus series; Egon Schiele's The Family (1918) Locust Radio is hosted by Tish Turl and Adam Turl. It is produced by Alexander Billet and Drew Franzblau. Music is by Omnia Sol.

Well, folks, things have heated up considerably since I started doing these reviews last fall. I've reached out to so many great distributors and all of them have been kind, helpful, and generous with what they allow access to and there are some genuinely amazing new discoveries this past month. Joining the round-up we have Arrow Video with its release of post-war Japanese New Wave director Yasuzo Masumura's cult satire Giant and Toys, a movie about avarice and the water/vinegar mix of western influence on Japanese salaryman culture. In association with Arrow, MVD's “Rewind Collection” has put out an extended director's cut of a 1997 Hong Kong action-cinema-inspired barnburner, Drive. Criterion comes in strong with its own underrated film in the Tyrone Power carny-noir Nightmare Alley, based off of the controversial and extremely racy novel of the same name by William Lindsay Gresham. Fun City Editions returns this month with a little seen Robert Forrest/Nancy Kwan two-hander called Walking the Edge, a low-budget and slick-sounding neo-noir and revenge film. However, our main segment focuses on two art-centric docs released by Kino Lorber: the impassioned and red-hot Chris McKim documentary about queer East Village artist David Wojnarowicz, Wojanrowicz: F**k You You F*ggot F**ker, as well as the more whimsical and pragmatic look into graphic artist M.C. Escher's process, life, and dreams with M.C. Escher: Journey to Infinity. Joining me for that segment will be the lovely and engaging new Operations and Visual Arts Manager at the Lotus Education and Arts Foundation, Amanda Hutchins! Honestly, May has probably been the most interesting month to date, filled with movies packing much style, heft, and aesthetic.

If you want to read my thoughts on some films that didn't quite make the cut, head on over to the IU Cinema Blog and check those out!

Staffers Griffin Oleynick, Nicole-Ann Lobo, and Meaghan Ritchey chat about the recently closed David Wojnarowicz retrospective at The Whitney Museum. Wojnarowicz was a multi-media artist working in NYC from the 1970s through 1992 when he died of AIDS-related complications. According to the exhibition's catalog, his work "documents and illuminates a desperate period of American history...his rightful place is also among the raging and haunting iconoclastic voices."

This week, we explore how artists navigate disease, how disease can be both a stigma and an identity, and how artists both resist and embrace that identity even as it comes to define their work. We'll listen to the audio diaries of multimedia artist David Wojnarowicz, who died of AIDS in 1992. We'll also hear from author Sandy Allen, whose uncle Bob, a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic, mailed them a manuscript of the “true story” of his life, which Sandy has translated into a new book, A Kind of Mirraculas Paradise, which questions our ideas on mental health. Andrew Leland discusses the #HowEyeSeeIt blindfold challenge, which pitted the ideologies of two different blindness organizations against each other. David Wojnarowicz's audio diaries are available as a three-LP vinyl release from the Reading Group record label and as a book, The Weight of the Earth, from Semiotext(e). Wojnarowicz's art and music were the subject of a recent retrospective at the Whitney Museum. Lastly, you can read learn more about Sandy Allen's book, A Kind of Mirraculus Paradise here.
