Recently we had the pleasure of meeting Barry Blinderman from Illinois State University who organized this exhibition and we were very excited to learn that some new, uncirculated copies of this beautiful and important catalog were still available! Barry had great stories of working with Wojnarowicz on the show and hosting him at his house down in Normal, Illinois for over two months while David made work for the show. He recalled that David would make drawings with his son and because he never went to college, Wojnarowicz really enjoyed the experience of being at the school.
This book is packed with over 100 images in black and white and color and some great texts about and by Wojnarowicz. Every aspect of Wojnarowicz's work is included: paintings, collages, photography, writing, film stills, performance stills, and more. A must - and an important addition to any library concerned with Queer culture, AIDS, activism, and the East Village Art Scene of the 1980s.

Fantastic! Hard to find.
I was very pleased to find this catalog in mint condition, in original packaging. This catalog was actually quite difficult to find online and was very pleased with the delivered book. Great addition to my collection. Thanks for the free zine as well!
Great service and a great product
Thank you so much for this exhibition catalog! I thought I had a copy in my collection but could not find a copy when I last looked for it. Thanks again!
