A poet, a painter, and Hollywood at NYU’s Fales Library until May 8
From Filthy Dreams review by Osman Yerebakan
“Spanning the walls of the Tracey/Barry Gallery at NYU’s Fales Library & Special Collections in the exhibition Why Are You Doing This To Me?, such heroic intensity of feelings–from the most buoyant to the darkest–are rekindled in seventy-four ravishing oil on linen paintings created by Philip Monaghan. Each refers to a different line from David Trinidad’s seminal poem The Late Show. The paintings, which focus on close-ups of various iconic Hollywood actresses in their most fragile and emotionally exposed states, pay an irresistible homage to Trinidad’s poem that has been heavily influential and poignant for the queer culture.”
Location: The Tracey-Barry Gallery is located at 70 Washington Square South, Third Floor, and is open to the public from 10:00 to 4:30, Monday to Friday.
Show runs from February 9 to May 8, 2016
