Please see article, page 4. Selections from Wojnarowicz's Memories that Smell Like Gasoline, published this year by Artspace, will by read by artist Nayland Blake and author Stephen Beach. In the August 4, 1992 Village Voice, C. Carr wrote, "David Wojnarowicz died of AIDS last week. He was his own best chronicler and the epidemic's visionary witness. Seeing the larger meaning of each life, each death, came so naturally to him. His paintings found the universe in a grain of sand. His writing traced the epidemic unfolding in a single body, now the repository of so many voices and memories and gestures of those who didn't make it." Wojnarowicz's art work, his dreamy films, and his poetry are featured in Silence = Death, part of Rosa von Praunheim's growing oeuvre on the AIDS crisis. "When I was told that I'd contracted this virus, it didn't take me long to realize that I'd contracted a diseased society as well," Wojnarowicz declares in this powerful, angry documentary on the New York artistic community's response to AIDS. Says von Praunheim: "'Silence = Death' has become the maxim of the AIDS movement in the United States....You close ranks, organize yourself, since the state leaves the individual to his or her own defense." Rosa von Praunheim also directed A Virus Knows No Morals and It's Not the Homosexual Who Is Perverse, but the Situation in Which He Lives.
