| David Wojnarowicz, Self portrait. (From Wikipedia) |
Sadly coinciding with the World AIDS Day, which was yesterday, the video "A Fire in My Belly" by David Wojnarowicz was removed from the "Hide/Seek" exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington DC. Wojnarowicz made the video in 1987 to honour Peter Hujar who died from AIDS that year.
Tyler Green at Modern Art Notes has followed the story closely.
Blake Gopnik has written a thorough condemnation of the censorship in the Washington Post.
