Gregg Bordowitz: Some Styles of Masculinity
Introduction by Hua Hsu.
SIGNED BY GREGG BORDOWITZ AT ARTBOOK @ MoMA PS1 BOOKSTORE!
Some Styles of Masculinity is a self-portrait and an essay on upheaval and plague, based on transcripts of a three-part lecture series performed at the New Museum as part of Trigger: Gender as a Tool and a Weapon. Each evening, he explored an avatar of masculinity that was formative to him as he came of age as an outer-borough child of Jewish immigrants, then as an artist-activist in Manhattan at the dawn of the AIDS crisis: the rock star, the rabbi and the comedian. Bordowitz asserts that gender can’t be separated from ethnicity, sexuality, class or nationality, and he connects these aspects of himself through personal anecdotes as well as reflections on whiteness, diaspora, comedy and Jewish mysticism. This book is a winding, intimate, urgent, freewheeling account of thinking and enduring in difficult times.
