More Life

In June 1981, the US Centers for Disease Control first reported what would eventually be known as AIDS. Marking the fortieth anniversary of this report, this series of curated solo exhibitions highlights a selection of artists—Ching Ho Cheng, Derek Jarman, Frank Moore, Mark Morrisroe, Jesse Murry, Marlon Riggs, Silence=Death collective, and Hugh Steers—whose lives were cut short by HIV/AIDS-related complications during approximately the first twenty years of the epidemic.

This series explores the affective, aesthetic, personal, and political responses to the crisis. As new HIV infections continue to impact nearly 1.7 million individuals annually around the world, we present a focused look—through exhibitions, roundtable discussions, and a selective timeline—at some of the artists who were affected at the beginning of the ongoing crisis, and who are often neglected in broader art-historical and cultural narratives.
