- 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".

Analityk Polskiego Instytutu Spraw Międzynarodowych komentuje aktualną sytuację na Bliskim Wschodzie, omawia szanse na pokój w Strefie Gazy oraz wpływ polityki Izraela, Palestyny i Libanu na region.Strefa Gazy wchodzi w kluczowy etap negocjacji, ale to jeszcze bardzo wrażliwy moment - mówi Michał Wojnarowicz, wskazując na trwające negocjacje dotyczące zawarcia zawieszenia broni. Choć pojawiają się sygnały, że Hamas zaakceptował warunki przedstawione przez Izrael, pytanie, co to oznacza dla przyszłości regionu, wciąż pozostaje otwarte.Zawieszenie broni to pierwszy krok, ale pełny pokój, obejmujący także polityczne rozstrzygnięcia, pozostaje nadal w sferze odległych planów - zaznacza analityk PISM ds. Izraelu i Palestyny.Michał Wojnarowicz komentuje również kwestie związane z libańsko-izraelskim granicą oraz obecną sytuację polityczną w Libanie, gdzie po raz pierwszy od roku pojawił się nowy prezydent.Jest to efekt porażki Hezbollahu, co może wpłynąć na wewnętrzną sytuację w Libanie. Zawieszenie broni na granicy daje nadzieję na stabilizację, ale to wciąż delikatna kwestia - zauważa rozmówca Jasminy Nowak.

Również po stronie Izraela nie będzie żadnych ustępstw, choćby ws. Wzgórz Golan - mówi ekspert.

W obliczu zdziesiątkowania przywództwa Hezbollahu trudno z jego strony spodziewać się jakiejś bardzo dużej operacji - mówi ekspert ds. izraelskich.

Oficjalne czynniki izraelskie zapewniają, że nie chcą wojny. Czy w parze z tymi słowami idą realne działania? Mówi ekspert Polskiego Instytutu Spraw Międzynarodowych.

"Warto zauważyć, że Hezbollah korzysta na dalszym osłabianiu Hamasu przez Izrael"

"Jeśli doszłoby do przedterminowych wyborów, nie ma gwarancji, że opozycji udałoby się przejąć władzę." - mówi Michał Wojnarowicz, ekspert ds. Izraela w Polskim Instytucie Spraw Międzynarodowych,

Ekspert komentuje m.in. ostatni atak rakietowy na Tel Awiw.

Ekspert omawia również echa wniosku przeciwko Izraelowi złożonego w Międzynarodowym Trybunale Karnym.

"Na terytorium Izraela spadło niewiele pocisków. Nie wyrządziły poważnych szkód"

Ekspert ds. Izraela analizuje postępy rozmów w sprawie przerwania walk w Strefie Gazy. Omawiając stanowisko Izraela, zauważa wpływ amerykańskiego nacisku na rozszerzenie dostępu do pomocy humanitarnej.

"Palestyńczycy, oprócz zawieszenia broni, potrzebują przede wszystkim usprawnienia napływu pomocy humanitarnej"

Ekspert PISM ds. izraelskich omawia aktualną sytuację w Strefie Gazy i negocjacje między Hamasem a Izraelem.

Taki scenariusz jest mało prawdopodobny, gdyż z kolei Izrael zdecydowanie zmierza do realizacji swoich celów"

"Netanjahu jest przekonany, że presja militarna na Hamas musi zostać utrzymana"

"Amerykanie są coraz bardziej zniechęceni postawą Benjamina Netanjahu"

Michał Wojnarowicz: poparcie dla Hamasu skokowo rośnie wśród Palestyńczyków na Zachodnim Brzegu Jordanu

Stany Zjednoczone stanowczo naciskają, by Izrael ograniczył skalę swojej operacji w Strefie Gazy"

Trwają rozmowy o wymianie zakładników, ale na powstrzymanie inwazji lądowej Izraela jest już za późno - mówi ekspert PISM.

Jak USA zareagują na kolejną eskalację konfliktu izraelsko-palestyńskiego? Tłumaczy ekspert PISM ds. izraelskich.

Wydaje mi się, że nie należy się spodziewać wzrostu udziału Iranu w wojnie - mówi ekspert PISM ds. izraelskich.

"Światowej wojny z tego nie będzie, regionalna – być może. Na tę chwilę sytuacja jest za bardzo dynamiczna, żeby móc jakoś bardziej stanowczo takie tezy stawiać. Z perspektywy Izraela jest to największa porażka państwa, największa porażka też militarna poniekąd. Kryzys, jakiego to państwo nie doznało od swojego powstania" – mówił w Popołudniowej rozmowie w RMF FM Michał Wojnarowicz. W ten sposób analityk Polskiego Instytutu Spraw Międzynarodowych odniósł się do konfliktu w Izraelu.

Prowadzona przez Netanjahu polityka polegająca na próbie zarządzania konfliktem poniosła klęskę - mówi ekspert Instytutu Spraw Międzynarodowych.

Ekspert mówi również o możliwym wyjeździe Benjamina Netanjahu na Ukrainę: "Premier wie, że najkrótsza droga do Białego Domu wiedzie dziś przez Kijów".

Hamas nie odbudował jeszcze swoich sił w Strefie Gazy, obecnie koncentruje się na Zachodnim Brzego - komentuje ekspert.

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.

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. 

Wojnarowicz: F**ck You F*ggot F**ker is a fiery and urgent documentary portrait of downtown New York City artist, writer, photographer, and activist David Wojnarowicz. As New York City became the epicenter of the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s, Wojnarowicz  weaponized his work and waged war against art world's indifference to the plague until his death from is in 1992 at the age of 37. Exclusive access to his breathtaking body of work - including paintings, journals, and films - reveals how Wojnarowicz emptied his life into his art and activism. Rediscovered answering machine tape recordings and intimate recollections from Fran Lebowitz, Gracie Mansion, Peter Hujar, and other friends and family help present a stirring portrait of this fiercely political, unapologetically queer artist. Director Chris McKim (Out of Iraq, Tammy Faye: Death Defying) joins us for a conversation on the life and times of artist David Wojnarowicz, why his art defied easy consumption and how his fury defined his art and challenged the straight world's cruel ambivalence during the scourge of the AIDS epidemic.

"The opposite of nostalgia is truth." So writes Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore in her new book The Freezer Door. We discuss how nostalgia fuels gentrification, why our streaming services are full of shows set in the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s, and how Patti Smith's "Just Kids" inspired suburbanites to flood into New York City.  Support this podcast: http://patreon.com/publicintellectual http://jessacrispin.com  

The artist David Wojnarowicz (1954-1992) was recently honored with a quilt created by friends and admirers in his memory. Wojnarowicz, who made art that captured his own decline during the AIDS crisis, was the subject of a Whitney Museum show that inspired this Fishko Files. (Produced in 2018).  Cynthia Carr's book Fire in the Belly: The Life and Times of David Wojnarowicz is available on Amazon. Fishko Files with Sara Fishko Assistant Producer: Olivia BrileyMix Engineer: Wayne ShulmisterEditor: Karen Frillmann

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.

The days of summer are numbered, but, as WNYC's Sara Fishko tells us, a notable Whitney Museum summer exhibit will be on view for another month. More, in this edition of Fishko Files. History Keeps Me Awake at Night is on at the Whitney through September 30. For tickets and more information on David Wojnarowicz, visit the Whitney online. The Whitney will present three performances of Wojnarowicz's multimedia work ITSOFOMO (In the Shadow of Forward Motion) this month, as well as a screening of the film Self-Portrait in 23 Rounds: A Chapter in David Wojnarowicz's Life 1989-1991 and conversation with director Marion Scemama on September 23. Cynthia Carr's book Fire in the Belly: The Life and Times of David Wojnarowicz is available on Amazon. Fishko Files with Sara Fishko Assistant Producer: Olivia BrileyMix Engineer: Wayne ShulmisterEditor: Karen Frillmann

Last month, a dozen activists gathered at the Whitney Museum of Art to condemn the institution's lack of modern context about the HIV/AIDS epidemic in relation to Wojnarowicz's artwork. Their action was noticed by the art world and the museum, which is continuing to talk to the protesters after changing some of the labels to reflect on the fact that the AIDS crisis is not over. In this episode we talk to Wojnarowicz biographer Cynthia Carr, author of Fire in the Belly: The Life and Times of David Wojnarowicz, who helps narrate the complicated story of an artist who has become one of the luminaries of New York's East Village scene in the 1980s. I also invited two artists, Jean Foos and Frank Holliday, who knew Wojnarowicz during his lifetime, to help paint a picture of a scene that burned bright, but was eventually snuffed out by a commercial art world obsessed with novelty, and the looming disaster that was AIDS. A special thanks to Twig Twig for the music to this week's episode. You can listen to that and more at twigtwig.bandcamp.com and other streaming services.

This week we bring you a special and timely conversation between our very own Dana Bassett and Dr. Daniel Berger recorded at Iceberg Projects where Berger has curated the current show, “Flesh of My Flesh,” an exhibition of painting, film, sculpture, photography and print work by the late David Wojnarowicz. Dan and Dana discuss Wojnarowicz’s aesthetic and historical legacy, the AIDS crisis, and the upcoming screening of Films by David Wojnarowicz and Friends, featuring “Silence=Death.”  Wojnarowicz’s screening takes place this Sunday, July 22nd at Northwestern’s Block Museum. More information can be found here: http://icebergchicago.com/davidwojnarowicz.html.  “Flesh of My Flesh” is on view at Iceberg Projects until August 4th.  Full text of the writing referenced in this interview:  When I put my hands on your body on your flesh I feel the history of that body. Not just the beginning of its forming in that distant lake but all the way beyond its ending. I feel the warmth and texture and simultaneously I see the flesh unwrap from the layers of fat and disappear. I see the fat disappear from the muscle. I see the muscle disappearing from around the organs and detaching iself from the bones. I see the organs gradually fade into transparency leaving a gleaming skeleton gleaming like ivory that slowly resolves until it becomes dust. I am consumed in the sense of your weight the way your flesh occupies momentary space the fullness of it beneath my palms. I am amazed at how perfectly your body fits to the curves of my hands. If I could attach our blood vessels so we could become each other I would. If I could attach our blood vessels in order to anchor you to the earth to this present time I would. If I could open up your body and slip inside your skin and look out your eyes and forever have my lips fused with yours I would. It makes me weep to feel the history of your flesh beneath my hands in a time of so much loss. It makes me weep to feel the movement of your flesh beneath my palms as you twist and turn over to one side to create a series of gestures to reach up around my neck to draw me nearer. All these memories will be lost in time like tears in the rain.

In this first series of Five on Five we're asking five painters to speak about a painting that has influenced, inspired or resonated with them. In this episode Peter Waples-Crowe reflects upon 'Bad Moon Rising' (1989) by David Wojnarowicz. In particular, Waples-Crowe is captured by Wojnarowicz’s symbolism, his aids’ activism and the queer politics underlying his imagery. To view the painting as you listen along, head to Art Guide online: https://artguide.com.au/five-on-five-peter-waples-crowe-on-david-wojnarowiczs-bad-moon-rising. Peter Waples-Crowe is a Ngarigo visual and performance-based artist living in Melbourne. Waples-Crowe creates bold colourful work that discusses the representation of Aboriginal people in popular culture, often referencing the dingo as an analogy for Indigenous peoples.

Jarett Kobek published his first novel, I Hate the Internet, last year with a small indie publisher and it immediately took on cult status. Kobek received a rave review from Dwight Garner in The New York Times, who described the novel “as a glimpse at a lively mind at full boil.” Jonathan Lethem declared Kobek “as riotous as Houellebecq,” and Bret Easton Ellis was photographed reading it in bed. Viking is thrilled to be publishing Kobek’s brilliant and epic follow-up novel, The Future Won't Be Long, a provocative, ecstatic story of friendship, sex, art, and ambition in the twilight days of New York City’s East Village (1986-1996). The Future Won't Be Long centers on Adeline—featured years later in I Hate the Internet—a wealthy art student in New York City who chances upon a young man from the Midwest known only as Baby in a shady East Village squat. The two begin a fiery friendship which propels them through a decade of New York life punctuated by the deaths of Warhol, Basquiat, Wojnarowicz, by the Tompkins Square Park riots, and by the rise of club kid culture. Adeline is fiercely protective of Baby, but he soon takes over his own education. Once just a kid off the bus from Wisconsin, Baby soon finds himself at the center of the club kid social scene, cavorting with Michael Alig and James St. James at The Tunnel, Limelight, and Alig’s infamous “Outlaw Party” at a midtown McDonald’s. As Adeline and Baby both develop into the artists they never expected to become, Kobek pays tribute to the last gasps of the gritty, drug-fueled scene of the East Village as gentrifiers begin to trickle in. Kobek, himself a graduate of NYU, writes with a native’s sensitivity to New York, especially about those who come here with hope and those who come to escape their pasts. Riotously funny and wise, The Future Won't Be Long is a euphoric, propulsive novel coursing with a rare vitality, an elegy to New York and to the relationships that have the power to change—and save—our lives. Jarett Kobek is a Turkish American writer living in California. He is the author of the novel I Hate the Internet (2016) and the novella Atta (2011) James St. James who was once dubbed a "celebutante" by Newsweek magazine, now leads a quiet, sedate existence in Los Angeles, far from the madness that he writes about.  Event date:  Thursday, August 17, 2017 - 7:30pm

1980's art both personal and political arose out of the AIDS epidemic.
