when Nickelodeon bought the building next door and expanded the studio in Burbank, they placed quotes from former creators around the campus.
This one from my all time favorite Nick show The Adventures of Pete and Pete is like the blueprint I strive for in my own writing.
It's simultaneously the grief of Ross fading away from the world and an act of love that shares his memory with millions of people! I've never met him, but he's part of me. Absolutely fucks me up (positive)
Today is Bandcamp Friday.
I saw (and ate from) one of his candy pieces (not Portrait of Ross in L.A.) at the MOMA waaay back in '96; it didn't have the text about Laycock and when I found out about the context, it absolutely floored me. Wish I'd known that when I participated in the communion!
Do you present a work of art as the artist intended to at the time of creation, or within the historical context? I don't know!
These works are about the AIDS crisis and being gay in America in the late 80s/early 90s, but G-T resisted narrow characterization and the prioritization of politics over art (bombmagazine.org/articles/199...)
It's both true that G-T was purposefully ambiguous in his instructions about how to display his work, and that the work gains a new dimension when viewed in the context of loss and grief, especially when situated in a time when gay relationships were treated as obscene and unspeakable.
Thinking about this in the context of the perennial discourse about G-T's "Untitled (Portrait of Ross in L.A.)"(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%22Untitled%22_(Portrait_of_Ross_in_L.A.) ). This is another piece created as a response to the death of Ross Laycock, but gallery descriptions vary.

For the "everything is online" crowd in the back:
