January 6th, also happened to be the day before Postcards From the Edge opened--the atmosphere in the office was fast-paced and (understandably) a little frantic. Even with the initial “sink-or-swim” nature of my first day, Visual AIDS has become a more than welcoming and rewarding environment to be a part of.  My name is Sage, I am a student from Bennington College, and I have been interning with Nelson, Amy and Julie for the past month. At Bennington College each student participates in a "Field Work Term" for the months of January and February, which is how I learned about Visual AIDS. In my hometown of Houston, Texas I worked with Planned Parenthood and a local AIDS Foundation, however, I had never worked with ...

Benjamin Incerti, Untitled, 1991, silver gelatin print, 42" x 30"   Using the collection of images from the Frank Moore Archive Project at Visual AIDS, I wanted to examine the relation between art and militancy against AIDS. I am particularly interested in the power of art to highlight a cause and to increase public awareness. In the case of the AIDS crisis, art is often used to show the reality of a situation for those living with HIV/AIDS. It’s also use to express how some people living with HIV/AIDS feel. Art activists help bring visibility to those living with HIV/AIDS in our society, and to fight the indifference, ignorance and  isolation they face.In reseaching the Archive Project, I saw many images from protest and direct actions of ACT UP - an a...

From January to August 2010, from Seattle to the Navajo Nation, a team of testers boarded a van to go out and meet people while offering free rapid HIV testing and prevention messages. Their approach is a fantastic way to provoke dialogue about HIV and to explain the importance of testing, especially to those who may not have thought about HIV or had access to testing.

I decided to do my internship with Visual AIDS because I share the idea that art is a tool to fight AIDS and to increase awareness about HIV/AIDS. I’m also interested in gaining professional experience in an American non-profit organization and learning how it operates, because I would like to work in a cultural non-profit organization in France after I graduate. This internship has immersed me in a world of art against AIDS. I first learned of Visual AIDS while during research for my Master’s thesis. The theme of my dissertation was the mobilization of artists to fight the AIDS crisis in New York City, in the 80's. In Fra...

The snapshots are quick poetic communiqués, a visual report on Felix's outlook at particular moments in time, small gestures of hope, pleasure, and desire. They give evidence to some of his multiple fascinations: pets, furniture, collectible dolls, politics, art, friendship, beauty, love and optimism.Published by A.R.T. Press, and edi...

Moving deftly among large-scale architectural interventions, experimental film, staged events, sculpture, photography, and book projects, her work interrogates the relationship between subjectivity, language, and power. The notion of representation and identification has always been at the core of Carroll’s oeuvre, and her dedication to a political and social critique that is consciously developed without a signature style.  In 2010 SteidlMACK published the monograph Mary Ellen Carroll: MEC, with text b...
