Goldin, Nan

From David Wojnarowicz Knowledge Base

Goldin is a photographer known for her intimate documentation of her and her friends' lives. She and Wojnarowicz were friends from the mid-1980s until his death, and she took many photographs of him. In 1990, Goldin asked Wojnarowicz to contribute to an exhibition she was curating for Artist's Space Witnesses: Against Our Vanishing, about the ongoing AIDS crisis. Wojnarowicz's contribution became the center of an NEA controversy when the NEA withdrew funding for the exhibition, in part based on the language in Wojnarowicz's catalogue essay "Postcards from America: X-Rays from Hell."
