This piece began with the daily collection for a year and a half of the piece Untitled (Portrait of Ross in LA) 1991, from Felix Gonzalez-Torres, from the Art Institute of Chicago to my studio and then public spaces outside of the museum as a place to initiate a dialogue around morning, grief, celebration and the impact of loss in queer communities through the AIDS crisis. Through this process Ive been in dialogue with AIDS-activist/artist Paul Escriva, who has been a mentor and bridge connecting with this past, which created a rupture of an entire generation. The performance has three main parts a movement piece focus on grief, and mourning. A meditation, which involves the separation of the over 23,000 candies into colors, and then using the candy themselves to write pieces from the archive of Felix Gonzalez-Torres, and texts from the arcHIVes interviews. For the past years Ive been interviewing artists and activists that survived the AIDS crisis for the duration of one candy in their mouths, this interviews titled the arcHIVes. The participants are instructed to finish when the candy is finished in their mouths.
