David Wojnarowicz came of age in New York’s radical East Village arts scene, his enormous talent touching painting, photography, sculpture, film, performance, and writing.
As the AIDS crisis unfurled around him in the community, his fearless LGBTQ activism was felt as powerfully then as it is today. Ahead of a new significant solo exhibition at The Modern Institute this June, guest editor and literary wonder Olivia Laing sifts through the notepads, ephemera, collected artwork and photography included in the show, tracing the life of one of art’s most uncompromising figures.
