David Wojnarowicz's use of photography, at times in conjunction
with text and painting, was extraordinary, as was his unprecedented
way of addressing the AIDS crisis and issues of censorship,
homophobia, and narrative. Brush Fires in the Social Landscape ,
begun in col - laboration with the artist before his death in 1992
and first published in 1994, engaged what Wojnarowicz would refer
to as his "tribe" or community. Contributors-from artist and writer
friends such as Karen Finley, Nan Goldin, Kiki Smith, Vince Aletti,
Cynthia Carr, and Lucy R. Lippard, to David Cole, the lawyer who
represented him in his case against Donald Wildmon and the American
Family Association-together offer a compelling, provocative
understanding of the artist and his work. Brush Fires is also the
only book that features the breadth of Wojnarowicz's work with
photography. Now, on the twentieth anniversary of Brush Fires ,
when interest in the artist's work has increased exponentially,
this expanded and redesigned edition of this seminal publication
puts the work in front of an audience all over again while
maintaining the integrity of the original. Through the lens of
various contributors, the book address Wojnarowicz's profound
legacy: the relentless tugs, allegiances, censorship, and ethical
issues, alongside his aesthetic brilliance, courage, and influence.
