- Extract from the documentary "Self Portrait in 23 Rounds, a chapter in David Wojnarowicz´s life, 1989-1991"
A film by Marion Scemama
Directed by François Pain & Marion Scemama
LOEWE presents a small series of T-shirts featuring works by the iconic American artist, writer, filmmaker and activist David Wojnarowicz (1954 - 1992).
Wojnarowicz became a protagonist of the vibrant local art scene after settling in Manhattan’s East Village in 1978. Many of his works incorporate outsider experiences drawn from his personal history as a gay man. After being diagnosed with AIDS, Wojnarowicz’ art took on a vocal political stance, producing some of the most important and challenging work around the AIDS crisis of the 1980s. His scathing honesty earned the ire of federal authorities, and his work continues to spark controversy and inspire in our own time of growing cultural divisions around critical social issues concerning freedom, justice and equality.

His ashes were scattered during a protest on the capitol building. Fighting, even after his death. Rest in power
his speaking voice was beautiful
Everything about him is interesting. His music,photography,films and arts in writing and painting. I can really tell that he loves peter hujar more because everything he do,there's always him in it. Tom Rauffenbart until the end of his life love him and he always gets a special place in his heart.
Incredible painter. Great writer. Wish I knew about him before his death rather than just after. But that speaks more to the lack of art education in schools in the late 1980s more than anything else. Wasn’t until college and contemporary art history class in the mid 1990s that his work was accessible - I suppose that goes for a lot of the postmodern era artists.
At least you found him ... people like David are far too special to be tought in school where conformity and non identity is the idea. We need to create websites filled with brilliant artists, thinkers, dancers, creatives so people can access these wonderful beings sooner.. If only just to help our spirits in this crazy thing called life
fully expressed, fully alive
I miss him

Wojnarowicz was a son of a polish guy. I’m curious if he spoke polish 🤔
