KEITH HARING

One time Keith arrived with his new lover Juan Rivera.....and well, I wanted to spend time with Keith, but not with Juan. I found being with Juan was a very big strain-he really had nothing to contribute. Frankly, I thought he was dragging Keith down. I thought Keith was surrounding himself with unintelligent people-it was freaking me out. He was surrounding himself with people that were using him-for his money, for his fame, and in return were letting him look at them, or play with them.»

«I GREW UP A CATHOLIC AND I DON'T FEEL ANY DEMONS»

The glittering New York crowd that Andy Warhol loved paid tribute to him yesterday at one of his favorite New York places. More than 2,000 people crowded into St. Patrick's Cathedral for a memorial mass honoring the late artist.
They came from the worlds of art, fashion, society and entertainment, and some of their names were among the world's most droppable - Halston, Liza Minnelli, Ann Bass, Klaus von Bulow, Claes Oldenburg, Grace Jones, Richard Gere and Prince and Princess Michael of Greece.In an altar banked with tulips and forsythia, the Rev. Anthony Dalla Villa, the celebrant, eulogized Mr. Warhol, who died Feb. 22 after a gall-bladder operation, as ''a simple, humble, modest person, a child of God who in his own life cherished others.''

Father Dalla Villa said that Mr. Warhol was able to ''take the very simple and ordinary objects of life and make them truly extraordinary.'' He added, ''He was the Christian gentle man, the Christian gentleman.'' 'Fooled the World'
The service emphasized Mr. Warhol's sprituality and passion for his Catholic religion. The Rev. C. Hugh Hildesley, pastor of the Church of the Heavenly Rest, wrote a tribute in the program that described how Mr. Warhol habitually spent Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter at the church, serving food to the homeless. John Richardson, the art historian and critic, said Mr. Warhol had ''fooled the world into believing that his only obsessions were money, fame and glamor, and that he was cool to the point of callousness.'' But he was, in fact, ''more of a recording angel,'' Mr. Richardson said. ''The distance he established between the world and himself was above all a matter of innocence and of art.''

AMERICA NOW!

«There's no country in the world that loves «right now» like America does. I guess so many things are happening today that we're too busy to do anything but look, talk and think about all of it. We don't have time to remember the past, and we don't have the energy to imagine the future: we're so busy we can only think: Now!»

«I LIKE EVERYBODY'S ART» ( ARTWORK BY FRANK STELLA)

LIFE 101 FOR THE YOUNG AND DUMB

The young have exalted notions, because they have not been humbled by life or learned its necessary limitations; moreover, their hopeful disposition makes them think themselves equal to great things--and that means having exalted notions. They would always rather do noble deeds than useful ones: Their lives are regulated more by moral feeling than by reasoning.... All their mistakes are in the direction of doing things excessively and vehemently. They overdo everything; they love too much, hate too much, and the same with everything else.

-Aristotle.

«Pour moi la jalousie c'est une des douleurs extraordinaires de l'amour. Le mot bonheur je ne l'aime pas, je n'aime pas le dire, je n'aime pas l'entendre...Nous savons tous que l'amour, la passion, est un état d'exaltation absolument extraordinaire et que ça amène avec soi de la joie et de la terreur, du plaisir et des douleurs. Et l'une des douleurs de l'amour c'est la jalousie»

-Jeanne Moreau.

«GOOD BUSINESS IS THE BEST ART»

The last year has been uneventful for the rapper. He did not have any new releases and performed at very few acts. But Eminem has not let all of the troubles affect his earnings. The pop star continues to earn a handsome amount. So, how does he do it? So far in 2016, Eminem has registered an earning of 11 million dollars. Eminem was recently featured as one of the top earning hip hop acts of 2016.

«I JUST THINK ENTERTAINMENT IS THE BEST MESSAGE»

L’art où ne l’attend pas – c’est-à-dire hors des centres spécialisés, des musées et autres festivals ? Ne rêvons pas trop. Nous vivons à l’ère de l’industrie culturelle, qui vise l’opinion de masse consensuelle, la convention et la normalisation du goût. Artistes à la mode, œuvres faciles, spectateurs bovins aguichés à coups de sanctifications médiatiques acritiques, lieux dédiés si possible spectaculaires (la récente Fondation Vuitton à l’orée du bois de Boulogne, la prochaine énième Fondation Pinault à l’ancienne Bourse de commerce de Paris…, outre les centres d’art institutionnels, en nombre) : on en est là. L’objectif, dont l’Occident fait dorénavant son fonds de commerce culturel, c’est le «Festivus Festivus», comme le désignait le regretté Philippe Muray. Il faut que l’art soit une fête qui se consomme comme se consomment aujourd’hui les séries TV, les sushis sans gluten, la naturopathie ou les romans de Houellebecq, Pancol ou Musso, en vrac.

YOUTH IS MADE TO BE COCKY AND SHOW OFF

LIFE 101 FOR THE YOUNG AND DUMB

“Youth ends when egotism does; maturity begins when one lives for others.”

-Herman Hesse

THE HOMELESS QUESTION

“This is why I think that the most important thing the government should do for people with no place to live is build huge modern bathouses where you could go and have both a shower and a washer-dryer to get you and your clothes clean at the same time. And there would be a time limit, or otherwise people would start living in there.”

-Andy Warhol.

Une fois encore lors de ces JO 2016, ceux qui ont attendu devant leur écran les compétitions de natation synchronisée masculine en auront été pour leurs frais. Eh non, désolé! Les experts masculins des figures aquatiques ne sont pas près de se faire une place dans le calendrier olympique, rappelle Queer.de. Le site LGBT revenait sur une interview du secrétaire général de la Fédération allemande de natation, interrogé par la «Tageszeitung», qui a fait quelques vagues Outre-Rhin.

Selon Jürgen Fornoff, si la natation synchronisée masculine reste boudée par le CIO, c’est qu’elle a un «parfum gay», qui ne pourrait à l’heure actuelle que braquer certaines fédérations étrangères. Jürgen Fornoff explique qu’il est lui-même favorable à l’inclusion de nageurs dans cette discipline. «Cela viendra sans doute en son temps, ajoute-t-il, mais pour l’instant, il n’y a pas de majorité» au sein des instances sportives internationales.

ROBERT RAUSCHENBERG

All the art movements that have appeared since the 1950s were anticipated by Rauschenberg and co, often in collaboration with their composer friend John Cage. Rauschenberg helped to invent conceptual art when he borrowed a drawing by Willem de Kooning and promptly erased it. His 1961 “portrait” of the gallerist Iris Clert is a telegram that simply states: “This is a portrait of Iris Clert if I say so.”
