, • , • ARTCETERA ContlnLled . -from. page 54 energized by creative arts i.e., painting, Broadway, music-but rather by activism currently, AIDS activism. Corporate leaders know it and are on the brink of becoming activists. Night Without Light is a subtle form of activism on the part of these building owners: It is not a charity ball that they independently attend to raise funds for an organization but, rather, a cooperative statement which will be heard across the country and by their corporate peers. This event will be a catalyst for the corporate communities to start lobbying, pressuring federal offices and making larger donations to AIDS service providers. Let's not forget ,that Leona is going to turn off the red, white and blue of the Empire State Building .for 15 minutes for the men, women and children who are dying because of government inaction, the same lights that she vowed to keep on until the hostages are freed. Due to the' enormous growth of Day Without Art over the past year, next year we can expect a tremendous response for Day Without Art 1991. We can expect the scale and impact of Night Without Light to extend beyond Manhattan to the rest of America, where AIDS education is desperately needed through the cooperation of creative and corporate leaders, Day Without Art has the potential to become a national grass-roots event of sorts Oike Earth Day?), a way of educating the public and forcing them to address the classism, 'racism, sexism' • • and homophobia that have propelled this disease into a social crisis. This event will not remain a one-day event If ther~ is involvement from the community; Arm yourself with information and participate in events around the country on Dec. 1. Tell the organizations ·involved that cooperation between artists, arts organizations and AIDS service organizations will continue. to take place throughout the year. 'We must not let this nationwide . activism tum Into a movie of the week or flavor of the month. ~ Alexander Gray is an administra- . .tor for Visual. AIDS.

On the other hand, the artist will eventually get inflamed, but the bureaucrats never will. That's why I'm glad to bean artist who's running a place, so that I can identify with both sides. PM: Is the NEAitself worth saving? MW: We'll see how the destruction of the peer panel goes. I've spoken to some of the lay people they've put on the panels, and they're, all wonderful. I'm worried, though, because the job of the artist is to break: molds, and the job of the lay people in that situation is to preserve the status quo. PM: You know a lot of artists at all different points' in their careers. I've always found artists remarkably apolitical. MW: I've never admired the artists who are apolitical. The media of publishing, installation art, perfonnance art are media that engage with the real world, and even If it never changes the real world, it tries. Whereas painting and sculpture are often the choice of the more introspective artists. You don't. have to talk to anyone but the canvas. At the same time, I've come across many, many painters and sculptors who are politically engaged, so I think it comes down to the individual. PM: Do you think perfonnance is still a vital art form? MW: My answer to that is, "Look at which fonns are under attack-the new forms of photography and perfor-. mance." David Salle is not under attack, and he's doing stuff that's just as erotic, but it's a painting. Painting's been around for 30,000 years. People are unnerved by the fad ti~at there's an: actual body which is being smeared, with chocolate, and that it's real urine. on that crucifix. It's too real somehow. Performance is not at all dead. It's just getting started, PM: Also performance doesn't. have a market. David S~e doesn't give • a shit If he gets a grant. MW: Yes, but there also wasn't a market for Jenny Holzer when Franklin Furnace showed her ten years ago;" . That's our job-to launch ideas that will later become successful. We also presented Barbara Kruger and Eric Bogosian, and now all these people are on the board. Luckily they're still interested in Franklin Furnace and whether the next generation gets a chance, I try ,. • 'I ,~ , to keep the artists who.
