“I had to throw away a lot of these, there were also Dutch gay liberation magazines in the boxes Erik Hagoort gave me, called ‘De Verkeerde Krant’ or so, (‘van de verkeerde kant’ was a Dutch saying for a queer person) but due to storage I could not keep everything as a resource to use. There are hundreds of these painted drawings, and they get quite a good response. Paul Thek = newspaper paintings, Karen Finley = same as Paul Thek, Erik Hagoort is the partner of Dutch artist Albert van Westing and AA Bronson showed a fondness for the drawings.” – SMW.

From 27. April (WeTransfer notes): “The other 11 images are from 2009 as well. They were taken in Vienna and are a performance with artist Johanna Braun where I am both art historian and nude, and Johanna and I perform together discussing her work. This was based on a 1969 work by Carolee Schneemann in London called ‘Naked Action Lecture’ where she was art historian of her own work in a slide show and got naked at a certain point to see if she could keep her authority.” – SMW.
