PUBLIC VIEWING OF THE KEITH HARING MURAL
Wednesday, March 7 through Saturday, March 31, 2012
LGBT Center, 208 W. 13th St.

The 1989 Keith Haring mural has been recently restored and is now open to the public before being used as a meeting room. Definitely worth a visit to see some history.

To walk into the Haring Bathroom is to enter a monochromatic fun-house of fucking. Anything goes. Above white toilet tiles, curling around water pipes and ductwork, headless male bodies twist and entwine with giant phalluses. Tiny men shoot from the ends of penises to splash soggily onto the backs of other bodies.

Penises grow human heads with mouths that suck the toes of other human shapes that in turn contort into Mobius-strips of sucking, performing Escher-like convolutions as one body part morphs into another. Negative space becomes positive. Hollows turn into solids that penetrate other hollows--assholes, mouths, and other unnameable orifices.

Looks like good quality graffiti.  I like it.

Also, for those of us that are very into Haring's work (obviously I am), there's a major retrospective of his work (largest since 1997) at the Brooklyn Museum March 16-July 8:

I liked him too, I have a T-shirt with a typically simple yet fun design, thanks for the heads up.
