In the final public program for Images on which to build, 1970s-1990s, curated by Ariel Goldberg, this event celebrates two pivotal AIDS-related projects: Electric Blanket, a public projection created by Nan Goldin, Allen Frame, and Frank Franca with Visual AIDS in the 1990s, and the work of ART+ Positive, an artist collective that included Lola Flash, Julie Tolentino, Aldo Hernández, Hunter Reynolds, Leon Mostovoy, and Ray Navarro–among others.
Moderated by curator Ariel Goldberg, this event will provide space for New York based members of these two groups, Lola Flash, Allen Frame, Frank Franca, and Aldo Hernández, to reflect on to reflect on endurance and resilience, collective organizing in their art practice, and the material realities of these works.
Join us to hear memories and reflections on the re-presentation of these respective projects within the exhibition, with opportunities for audiences to view the works on view before the show closes and participate in the discussion.
