{"title":"Hunter Reynolds","description":"\u003cp\u003eHunter Reynolds (b. 1959) is an American artist whose practice emerged from the AIDS crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s, producing work that addressed survival, mourning, visibility, and the politics of the body. Working across performance, photography, installation, and printed matter, Reynolds developed a body of work that was simultaneously personal and political — rooted in the experience of living with HIV and in the activist culture of ACT UP and the broader queer art community of New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis most sustained project, \u003cem\u003eThe Patina du Prey Survival AIDS\u003c\/em\u003e (begun 1991), involved Reynolds performing in an elaborate drag persona — a sequined gown printed with the names of people who had died of AIDS — in public spaces, galleries, and institutions. The work transformed mourning into spectacle and spectacle into archive, making the body a surface for collective memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReynolds has exhibited widely in the United States and internationally, with presentations at P.P.O.W Gallery, New York, the New Museum, and numerous venues engaged with queer art history and AIDS activism. His work is increasingly recognised as a significant contribution to the visual culture of the AIDS crisis and to the history of performance and identity-based art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe New Rare holds printed matter and exhibition ephemera related to Hunter Reynolds, including documents from exhibitions at P.P.O.W Gallery, New York.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/thenewrare.com\/collections\/hunter-reynolds.oembed","provider":"The New Rare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
