A fascinating book; I read this 'cold' in the sense that I didn't have any knowledge of it before it being lent to me by a friend. A sprawling experience, part travelogue, part aesthetic essay, part historical analysis, it was deeply moving. The author lives in a very different world from mine, and yet some moments described I had a perfect understanding of. And those things that felt completely different were profoundly inspiring. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

"Sebald meets Maggie Nelson in this autobiographical narrative of embodiment, visual art, history, and loss. How do the bodies we inhabit affect our relationship with art? How does art affect our relationship to our bodies? T Fleischmann uses Felix Gonzáles-Torres's artworks--piles of candy, stacks of paper, puzzles--as a path through questions of love and loss, violence and rejuvenation, gender and sexuality. From the back porches of Buffalo, to the galleries of New York and L.A., to farmhouses of rural Tennessee, the artworks act as still points, sites for reflection situated in lived experience. Fleischmann combines serious engagement with warmth and clarity of prose, reveling in the experiences and pleasures of art and the body, identity and community."-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

The bit about the Publick Universal Friend was interesting, but it's not a large part of the book, nor as integrated as the Félix González-Torres stuff. I was impressed by the way it contextualizes them simultaneously as
- an (illegal) settler participating in the displacement of indigenous people by trying to get far enough away from society not to be judged
- someone who empowered women
- a religious fanatic
- clearly nonbinary trans (in a way that would slip into modern identities with barely a ripple)
- one of those people who's super fucking obnoxious at public meetings. ( )
