INTIMACY

Alair Gomes was singular in turning his oeuvre into his life—or would it be his life into his oeuvre? In this session, a lit bit of the symbiosis between art and intimacy by presenting some intimate diaries kept by the artist, trying to capture the essence of this fundamental asset of the “self-writing”, an important representation in the records of 20th Century Rio de Janeiro’s gay memory. In these private writings, now brought to public, the artist lets on part of his “self” and reveals his rich day-to-day life, dilemmas,
inspirations and, obviously, eroticism.
