White Columns
320 W 13th St“Kathy Acker, the novelist and theorist, died from breast cancer in 1997. Her papers are at Duke, but her clothes and accessories remain in the possession of her executor Matias Viegener. Beginning Tuesday, January 9, I will display a selection of Kathy Acker's clothes at White Columns in New York City, and on Wednesday, January 10 at 7:30, I will give a presentation, "Digging Through Kathy Acker's Stuff." Last February while visiting Viegener in Los Angeles, I rummaged through Acker's extravagant designer wardrobe, and wheedled one of her Gautier dresses from him, and a couple pieces of jewelry. Possessing such intimate effects of a woman I wasn't so much friends with as in awe of, I felt compelled to write it all out. I meditate upon relics, ghosts, compulsive shopping, archives, make-up, our drive to mythologize the dead, Acker's own self-mythologizing, the struggle among followers to define Acker, bitch fights, and the numina of DNA.” – Dodie Bellamy.
