SPEAKING LITTLE, PERHAPS NOT A WORD
A show at the Bronx Museum’s Block Gallery at 80 White will feature “Pacifico Silano: Speaking Little, Perhaps Not a Word” through June 29. The title is borrowed from the final verse of Walt Whitman’s short poem, “A Glimpse,” a rumination on the “quiet spaces where intimacy, memory and longing reside amidst the spirited volumes of everyday life. Silano’s work combines imagery drawn from gay erotica, vintage advertisements and queer archival media to explore the vestiges of loss, desire, and melancholy that continue to reverberate across the LGBTQ community owing to the 1980s AIDS crisis.”
