D&S #5 - Jesse Murry
Manage episode 306374173 series 2984312
This week we discuss the work of the fabulous, unsung painter, poet, critic, and theorist Jesse Murry. Though Murry died of AIDS-related complications in 1993 and faded into relative obscurity, his work is getting a second life through a recent exhibition at David Zwirner in NYC and the publication of Painting is a Supreme Fiction: Writings by Jesse Murry, 1980-1993 by Soberscove Press. Murry's deceptively simple abstract paintings and lucid critical writing allow us to ask what queerness looks, sounds, tastes, and smells like.
We also play gay trivia from 1985, discuss throbbing pens and the near impossibility of comprehending abstract art when you're color blind, and make a lot of farting noises on our arms.
Thank you for listening; it means the world to us! Be sure to like, subscribe, and tell your WHOLE sewing circle to do the same!
