Art News Parties
"Art News Parties" is a chapter of Douglas Crimp’s memoir-in-progress about New York in the 1970s, Before Pictures. The memoir weaves together stories of the two cultures that were central to his life at that time—gay liberation and the art that came to be called postmodernism. In this chapter, Crimp remembers his first work as an art critic, when he wrote for the oldest and most established American art magazine, Art News. Art News was famous for its support of Abstract Expression and for its preference for criticism written by poets, especially the important New York School poets John Ashbery, Barbara Guest, Frank O’Hara, and James Schuyler. But Crimp was not a poet, and he found the poets’ views about early-1970s art old-fashioned and off-putting. He nevertheless found the milieu convivial, especially as experienced at parties hosted by Ashbery, Art News’s executive editor. One of those parties led indirectly to Crimp’s meeting his first boyfriend, and so this chapter also tells the story of their relationship, including their shared cinephilia, their project to write a Moroccan cookbook, and their ill-fated vacation on Cape Cod.
Douglas Crimp is Fanny Knapp Allen Professor of Art History at the University of Rochester, New York, and the author of On the Museum’s Ruins, 1993, Melancholia and Moralism: Essays on AIDS and Queer Politics, 2002, and “Our Kind of Movie”: The Films of Andy Warhol, 2012. Crimp was the curator of the Pictures exhibition at Artists Space, New York, in 1977 and an editor of October magazine from 1977 to 1990. With Lynne Cooke, he organized the exhibition Mixed Use, Manhattan: Photography and Related Practices 1970s to the Present for the Reina Sofía in Madrid in 2010. He is currently at work on a memoir of New York in the 1970s called Before Pictures.

DIK at Motto Berlin
DIK Fagazine "BEFORE '89" issue launch at Motto Berlin
April 5 (Thursday), start 7 PM
Motto Berlin
Skalitzer str. 68, Berlin
DIK Fagazine is happy to invite you for the Berlin premiere of our "BEFORE '89" issue at Motto. Join us for a launch event with editor Karol Radziszewski and Berlin based artist Piotr Nathan who is interviewed in this issue.
The latest issue of DIK Fagazine, "BEFORE '89," is the culmination of extensive archive work, as well as travels across Europe. Drawing from a range of contributors, the magazine traces a cultural legacy specific to Poland, while following a trail through Romania, Estonia, Latvia, Serbia, Hungary and the Czech Republic.
Wolfgang Tillmans, who first visited Warsaw in 2011, provides an account of the anniversary of the plane crash in Smolensk, celebrated in the overblown national-religious vein of the Polish right. Bruce LaBruce’s contribution gives the impression that he's describing a time when communism is alive and well, and not Poland in the year 2000.
The publication explores park cruising areas, train stations, beaches and other casual hook-up spots. Ryszard Kisiel shares the astonishing story of his zine titled "Filo", Slava Mogutin uncovers the story of homosexuals in the Soviet Gulags, and BEFORE ‘89 conducts a search investigation for Michel Foucault’s Polish lover.
Contributors of DIK Fagazine 8th issue include Arobal, Wojciech Bąkowski, Bruce LaBruce, Boris L. Davidovich, Andrej Dubravsky, Paul Dunca, Christine Fenzl, Nan Goldin, Kamil Julian, Ryszard Kisiel, Slava Mogutin, Jaanus Samma and Wolfgang Tillmans.
