Gregg Bordowitz

This is a really fascinating trip through Bordowitz's work; he's such a deep thinker about art and AIDS, and it really shows. I enjoyed the later essays more, as I think you see him settle into his frameworks in a really interesting way, but the earlier ones are still fascinating. I will note that I don't read a lot of stuff about art more broadly, but I still definitely found this book interesting and also useful as you watch Bordowitz's journey from someone sure he's going to die in a very short period to someone who had to think about living in the long term. Favorites include "Boat Trip" and "Dense Moments" as well as "My Postmodernism."… (mehr)
