Peter Hujar: Lost Downtown Hujar Peter
It's a vanished world, and Peter Hujar was right there in it. Nothing but their talent, their flamboyance, their rank gender-bending mockery and their arch irony supported them. The Lower East Side between 1972 and 1985 - filled with artists, wannabe artists and hangers-on - was a community of the misbegotten gathered from every town in America and relocated in the mean streets between Broadway and the Bowery.
Many came to grief. Some made their names. A few made art.
In those days, the gutted streets of the Lower East Side looked like a war zone. Everyone lived and worked on the extreme outer margins of money and art, penniless and unknown. As a community, Downtown was a counterstatement to the rich New York of the banks, museums, media, corporations ...
and the art world itself.§That Downtown is forever gone. Time, gentrification, disease and death have taken their toll and turned this vibrant epoch into a chapter of art history. But before it vanished, its extravagant cast sat for Peter Hujar's camera - and is now alive again in front of our eyes.§Featured among others: Joe Brainard, William Burroughs, Remy Charlip, Edwin Denby, Divine, Ray Johnson, Fran Lebowitz, Charles Ludlum, Susan Sontag, Paul Thek, John Waters, Robert Wilson, David Wojnarowicz.
