The HIV epidemic animates this collection of essays by a noted artist, writer, and activist. "So total was the burden of illness-mine and others'-that the only viable response, other than to cease making art entirely, was to adjust to the gravity of the predicament by using the crisis as a lens," writes Gregg Bordowitz, a film- and video-maker whose best-known works, Fast Trip Long Drop (1993) and Habit (2001), address AIDS globally and personally. In The AIDS Crisis is Ridiculous-the title essay is inspired by Charles Ludlam, founder of the Ridiculous Theater Company-Bordowitz follows in the tradition of artist-writers Robert Smithson and Yvonne Rainer by making writing an integral part of an artistic practice." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Geography notes: a survey; Picture a coalition; The AIDS crisis is ridiculous; Operative assumptions; Boat trip; Dense moments; Present tense; New York was yesterday; Lonely is the city; A conversation with Delmore Schwartz; Renew our days; A solemn assembly; Hurry down sunshine; Which is more powerful: the word or the idea?; What the world needs now: South African HIVers counter doomsday images with profiles in radical courage; The effort to survive AIDS considered from the point of view of a race-car driver; My postmodernism; More operative assumptions.
