ReMixed Messages: Media, Images, Closing Reception

aids: Made in USA, J.Morrison

Available online now, this weekend's Washington Post includes a lengthy article by Philip Kennicott about the current culture that AIDS engenders. He writes about both UNITED IN ANGER: A History of ACT UP and Remixed Messages, both events Visual AIDS took to DC for AIDS 2012. 


About Remixed Messages, Kennicott writes: "Whether or not the artists had AIDS in mind, they seem to be grappling with a set of AIDS-inflected moral truths: That intimacy is full of both grace and danger; that great traumas punctuate life irrevocably and make time less elusive; that the suffering which defines us cannot, should not, must not be cast off, even if that were possible." Read the rest of the article Washington Post. 


For those in the DC area, visit Fathom Gallery tonight for the closing reception between 6-8pm with remarks by artist Tim Tate, and Don Blanchon, Executive Director of Whitman-Walker Health. Fathom is at 1333 14th St. NW.
