Focusing on some of Hujar’s most intimate photographs: self-portraits and portraits of his lovers and fellow artists Paul Thek (1933-1988) and David Wojnarowicz (1954-1992), the exhibition includes many works that will be shown for the first time. Hujar was a leading figure in New York’s downtown cultural scene in the 1970s and 80s. His life was defined by his friendships with other artists, writers, and musicians, and few people were closer to him than Paul Thek and David Wojnarowicz. The portraits he made of them attest to the intimate, complex, and productive nature of their relationships. All three artists were to die of AIDS within a few years of one another, and the highly emotional portraits he made of them are always beautiful, although rarely in a conventional way. Thek and Hujar met in 1956 at the outset of their careers, and shared a relationship that was both romantic and intensely productive. They visited the catacombs in Palermo, Italy, together in 1963. The trip helped inspire Thek’s best-known sculptures, the Technological Reliquaries. Hujar’s photographs of the catacombs make up half the images for his seminal 1976 publication, Portraits in Life and Death, the only book of his work produced during his lifetime. <a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6233/6300368254_c780fdf709_b.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6233/6300368254_c780fdf709_b.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 702px; height: 378px;" /></a> <div style="text-align: center;"> "Dont need a mountain for a wall See the big old moon spin around the world Somehow it makes me feel so small" ("question of faith") </div> Hujar met David Wojnarowicz in 1980 and immediately became a source of profound influence and inspiration for the younger artist. They collaborated on numerous works and remained friends until Hujar’s death in 1987. A selection of Hujar’s photographs and Wojnarowicz’s video A Fire in My Belly, which includes footage of Hujar, will be on view at the Brooklyn Museum this fall in the exhibition Hide/Seek: Difference and Desire in American Portraiture. ---------------------

I am also interested in distorting functionality by exploiting of the formal tradition of sculpture to occupy space rather than create it. Similar to my intentionally flawed ‘faux architectural’ drawings, my structures and models attempt to mimic the language of architecture, or intervene with it, to create structures that hold space but do not offer it." --------------------------

"I have always aimed for simplicity. For me simplicity is searching for the most simple means to achieve the most essential functions." - Juliaan Lampens <a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6095/6291940036_04f6265429_b.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6095/6291940036_04f6265429_b.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 699px; height: 900px;" /></a> Take a trip to the mountain, take a moment to breathe and to enjoy books. A book that I received last week, <a href="http://www.uitgeverijluster.be/">"Belgian Architects and Their Houses"</a> published by Luster is an absorbing exploration of architect's private homes. Enjoy the weekend with a book. - David John "Our own house in Eke was built in 1960, it was an experiment in my new style. It shocked a lot of people because it didn't conform to the idea of a normal house with a number of rooms with walls and doors, linked by corridors. For me a house is an open concept where everything is joined up with everything else..." "I have always aimed for simplicity. For me simplicity is searching for the most simple means to achieve the most essential functions. The function should dictate the beauty of the form, and not the other way around." -Juliaan Lampens <a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6218/6291979306_4181d401b3_b.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6218/6291979306_4181d401b3_b.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 813px; height: 1024px;" /></a> "The interior decoration blends into the architecture, and the architecture blends into the environment. This vision of architecture is linked to a way of life where people are close to nature, nature teaches us to appreciate the beauty of the weathered, the imperfect, and the asymmetrical. The patina is the result of a process of becoming, a principle that is strongly present in vernacular architecture." -Eddy Francois and Caroline Dewolf -------------------
