Thinking about the exhibit "Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star" (named after the Sonic Youth album) about 1993 US art that was up in the New Museum earlier this year in NYC. A lot of self-representational pieces, though, with what we are learning about objects, I suppose every piece made by the artist is self-representational.
There was one in particular which I think we can all learn from, enjoy, etc. It is called "Fast Trip, Long Drop", and it is about the artist's venture into getting treated for HIV, also tying in bits about his relationship with his father and his father's lineage. There is stock footage, home movies, video shot by the artist (self-portraiture), as well as an interview segment. It really is influencing my approach on this assignment we are doing.
I have ordered it off of Summit! So it will be here soon, and we can watch it, maybe in the screening room, or at a NFM party!
