In the first of this new podcast from MACK, poet Eileen Myles reads their essay 'Vanishing,' which was published in The Shabbiness of Beauty by Moyra Davey and Peter Hujar. Having pasted photographs by Davey and Hujar on the walls of their New York City apartment, Myles begins an exploratory piece that spans the unrelenting passing of time, the remarkable visual dialogue between these two artists and their shared visual language.
About The Shabbiness of Beauty by Moyra Davey and Peter Hujar
A visual dialogue that crosses generational divides with the easy intimacy of a late-night phone call, little-known photographs from Peter Hujar's archives are set in dalogue with Moyra Davey's own photographs, forming a visual exploration of phyiscality and sexuality that crackles with wit, tenderness, and perspicacity.
