CHRIS KRAUS AND BRUCE HAINLEY IN ECHO PARK

Last fall, a Boyle Heights anti-gentrification protest prevented Chris Kraus (After Kathy Acker) and Bruce Hainley (Under the Sign of [sic]: Sturtevant’s Volte-Face) from meeting as scheduled at 356 Mission to discuss Kraus’ Acker biography.

Their conversation is back on, relocated to Echo Park.

HERVÉ GUIBERT

CRAZY FOR VINCENT belongs in the tradition of what you might call ‘fucked-up boy art’—not verifiably straight or gay, but just devoted to ogling the hot wreck of a handsome young thing out of his mind. Vincent [Marmousez] doesn’t call himself anything whether he’s hopping into a cerebral dude’s bed or frolicking with a babe… A history of this tradition might begin with Caravaggio’s Young Sick Bacchus, that self-portrait of the artist totally wasted with his flesh tinged green, move through Anne Carson’s verse novel Autobiography of Red (1998) and Larry Clark’s entire career, before climaxing with Ryan McGinley’s shots of the late Dash Snow. Who could resist these beautiful hoodlums, even if their company turns out to be fatal?” — Charlie Fox*
