About this item
How do the bodies we inhabit affect our relationship with art How does art affect our relationship to our bodies T Fleischmann uses Felix Gonzles-Torres's artworks -- piles of candy, stacks of paper, puzzles -- as a path through questions of love and loss, violence and rejuvenation, gender and sexuality. From the back porches of Buffalo, to the galleries of New York and L.A., to farmhouses of rural Tennessee, the artworks act as still points, sites for reflection situated in lived experience. Fleischmann combines serious engagement with warmth and clarity of prose, reveling in the experiences and pleasures of art and the body, identity and community.
