The appearance of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus and the Acquired
Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS) in the early 1980s and its
subsequent rapid spread around the world has left deep marks in
society. The illness itself and its effects on society have also
caused manifold responses by artists and activists in many
countries. United by AIDS, published in conjunction with an
extensive group show on the topic of loss, remembrance, activism
and art in response to HIV/AIDS at Zurich's Migros Museum of
Contemporary Art (Migros Museum fur Gegenwartskunst), sheds light
on the multi-faceted and complex interrelation between art and
HIV/AIDS from the 1980s to the present. It examines the blurred
boundaries between art production and HIV/AIDS activism and
showcases artists who played - and still play - leading roles in
this discourse. Alongside images of artworks and brief texts on the
represented artists, the book features voices from the past and
present. Essays by Douglas Crimp, Alexander Garcia Duttmann,
Raphael Gygax, Elsa Himmer, Ted Kerr, Elisabeth Lebovici ,and Nurja
Ritter broaden the view of the international discourse on HIV/AIDS
and society's confrontation with the disease.
