Keith Haring



In a bathroom at the Gay and Lesbian Community Center on 13th street is this stunning mural by Keith Haring. It reminds me simultaneously of Hieronymous Bosch, Gay Liberation and AIDS. One blogger called it "a continuous orgiastic line of unbroken libidinal release." At the time it was painted it was already recalling a lost age of innocence and promiscuity--"Once Upon a Time" is the title. Haring finished the work in May of 1989. Eight months later he was dead of AIDS.



photo of thomas locke hobbs Hi. I'm a 32 year-old American currently living in Buenos Aires. Before that I lived in California, Sao Paulo and New York and if you browse through the archives below you can see photos of all those places. I also have an old geocities page with some outdated information but also more photos of Buenos Aires, friends and my 9/11 pictures.

does spelling it out really prevent spam?
