ISBN: 9788836625062
Description: Milano: Silvana, 2012. 24cm., pbk., 143pp. illus. Italian-English text. Exhibition held at Galleria Civica, Modena. Summary: Peter Hujar (1934-1987), Mark Morrisroe (1959-1989) and Jack Smith (1932-1989) all occupy that uncertain territory lying between the visibility and the assimilation of ‘difference’. Their works follow a complex parable, from the ‘60s right up to the end of the ‘80s, underlining the risks inherent in mixing art and life, as well as formal research and political struggles. Their research will accompany the spectator along a display itinerary ranging from highbrow to lowbrow art, from the banal to the elegiac, from the trashy to the refined, and from life to death, moving through both the various genders (male, female and transgender) and sexual orientations (heterosexuality, homosexuality and bisexuality), showing how they have been recounted through both underground and mainstream culture.
