If I could figure out a way to remain forever in transition, in the disconnected and unfamiliar, I could remain in a state of perpetual freedom.” In ‘memories that smell like gasoline,’ a memoir published the following year, he writes: “the person I was just one year ago no longer exists; drifts spinning slowly into the ether somewhere way back there…I can’t abstract my own dying any longer… I see casualness and mundane effects of gesture made by constant populations… I am a stranger and I am moving.” ‘Memories that smell like gasoline’ was published just a few months after Wojnarowicz’s death due to aids-related complications. I spent all morning reading up on Wojnarowicz, his work and legacy—his magnificent rage. Last night I crossed the Williamsburg bridge and stared at the spire of the world trade center, illuminated in red orange yellow green blue and purple. Transformation (change?) is tricky when its frequent promise of “freedom” is infinitely subjective, too easily signified by “mundane gestures.” Blanket statements comfort and reduce. Celebration delights, vitally; celebration is not arrival. “History” recedes as a word to contextualize Wojnarowicz’s life, work, and death; “history” is too abstract, too far away. Working with @ppowgallery and the estate of David Wojnarowicz, @jonathan.anderson interprets the artist’s work for a @jw_anderson capsule collection with sales benefitting @visual_aids: a non-profit utilizing art to fight aids by provoking dialogue, supporting hiv+ artists, and preserving their legacies. Aids is not over.” Thank you @harinef for joining us in supporting @visual_aids an organisation founded in 1988 to raise awareness and support HIV+ artists.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ We are proud to collaborate with P•P•O•W @ppowgallery and the Estate Of David Wojnarowicz to raise funds for Visual AIDS.」6月29日 2時02分
