The Personal and the Political

Fishko Files | Aug 29, 2018

The days of summer are numbered, but, as WNYC's Sara Fishko tells us, a notable Whitney Museum summer exhibit will be on view for another month. More, in this edition of Fishko Files.

History Keeps Me Awake at Night is on at the Whitney through September 30. For tickets and more information on David Wojnarowicz, visit the Whitney online.

The Whitney will present three performances of Wojnarowicz's multimedia work ITSOFOMO (In the Shadow of Forward Motion) this month, as well as a screening of the film Self-Portrait in 23 Rounds: A Chapter in David Wojnarowicz's Life 1989-1991 and conversation with director Marion Scemama on September 23.

Cynthia Carr's book Fire in the Belly: The Life and Times of David Wojnarowicz is available on Amazon.
