Beginning with a reflection on the early AIDS epidemic, Untitled (2010) eschews a linear narrative in favor of a fractious timeline, moving from the sublime to the tragic and back again. By juxtaposing mainstream network news, activist footage, artists’ works, and popular entertainment from the last several decades, Untitled references regimes of power that precipitated a generation of queer and AIDS activism.
Untitled is sixty minutes long and will be screened on a continuous loop in the Museum lobby all day during World AIDS Day on December 1.
