In 1991, David Wojnarowicz and Sylvère Lotringer met in the East Village to conduct a dialogue on Wojnarowicz’s work. DW was already in the last stages of AIDS, and saw his dialogue with Lotringer as a chance to be clear about his aspirations and political views. Later SL reached out to DW’s collaborators and friends – Julia Scher, Richard Kern, Kiki Smith, Nan Goldin, and others. The untold story that emerges here is the collaborative work of artists. It comes down to the fact in DW’s case that he was a great synthesizer of ideas and images as well as a great artist.
