In 1917, Marcel Duchamp purchased a urinal, signed it, and called it art. @jacksondavidow.bsky.social writes on the queer artists who’ve expanded the readymade’s conceptual terrain to honor and advance more complex understandings of queer history.

In January, the artist Daniel Goldstein died at the age of seventy-four. @jacksondavidow.bsky.social writes on his “Icarian” series and other artists preserving artifacts of queer life from oblivion.

My latest essay for @thebaffler.com offers a theory of the queer readymade. It is about how artists have salvaged weathered materials from gay gyms, bathhouses, and cruising grounds—and repurposed them as works of art. thebaffler.com/latest/if-yo...

I wrote an essay about Gail Thacker, queer art, liberal feminism, and political disenchantment. It’s a critical revisitation of Gail’s amazing videos “When Women Run the World” (1979-80), starring Pat Hearn, Mark Morrisroe, Shelley Lake, Steve Stain, and the artist herself.
