Felix Gonzalez-torres “Untitled” (Perfect Lovers)
I usually don’t find any need to verbally express my opinions on the internet but there’s something both so devastating and so impressive about this representation of the most personal and emotional feelings possible with some of the most simple, reproducible house hold commodities: clocks… The materialization of the concepts of time and death are always rather impressive, but the context in which this was created, for a lack of better phrase, kills me. I don’t care if I’m easily impressed or extremely sensitive to stories about sincerity in gay artist’s (or anyone’s) love lives… but I wish that this was out of storage at MoMA more than anything right now.
