Happy birthday Keith Haring!

Born on the 4th of May 1958 in Pennsylvania, Keith Haring was one of the best known pop artists of the 20th century. Many of his works were large-scale murals in public spaces, created for charities and public service campaigns.

Diagnosed with AIDS in 1988, he used his work as a vehicle to talk about his experience with the disease. He spread awareness, and criticsed public complacency through the motif of "hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil” figures. He also created the Keith Haring Foundation to preserve his work and support organisations assisting children and those with HIV/AIDS.

Keith passed away from AIDS-related complications on 16 Feb 1990 at the age of 31.

You can learn more about Keith’s life and work through The Keith Haring Foundation.

FIGHT AIDS ACT UP”.]

Nick and Keith Haring

I’m missing Nick and Boston extra hard today. First Saturday without BostonNick. So I want to talk about Nick first today. Many times in the show Nick is seen wearing Keith Haring’s art and I believe it has meaning beyond looking great on him.

Keith Haring was an American artist from New York he believed art was for everyone. A lot of his art was murals etc because in his own words

He was diagnosed with AIDS in 1989 and passed away in 1990. He was a advocate for AIDS research. Today his foundation is dedicated to helping people with HIV/AIDS. He talked about how life was fleeting anyways but art was forever

Nick wore Keith Harings art as shorts multiple times and socks at the end of the show with the colors inverted. I find it interesting both Nick and Sand’s inspirations passed away due to AIDS. Freddy Mercury and Keith Haring were geniuses who’s lives were cut tragically short. I can’t help but think about how Keith Haring was an artist in New York making art accessible to everyone by doing beautiful graffiti because “Art is for everyone”. Possibly… a reference to Boston leaving and his dream to have a gallery in New York of normal things of people in bed. Saying possibly Nick will always support his favorite gay New York based artist even if they are separated by time and space.

Another interpretation is in all 3 scenes where we see Nick wearing the art Nick is talking about himself a very rare occurrence since he likes to talk about boston. The first dark room scene he tells Boston about his past. The second in Sand’s room giving him advice that sounds very familiar. The final the skate date where Nick is telling Boston he doesn’t like skating and he can’t keep up with Boston. It could be Keith Haring is one of Nick’s favorite artists because Nick is also an artist. He’s a digital artist really a dream of the future. Anyone can be a digital artist with a little money. Now art is seen everywhere at any time similar to Keith’s graffiti it was everywhere and for the people. Perhaps that’s what Nick wants with his art too. To spread his messages and ideas with digital animation.

Anyways I hope you guys find it interesting as well I’m going to go back to wallowing in sadness that we don’t know if Nick ever seriously dated anyone ever again. Also that we don’t know in the series if Sand didn’t kick him to the curb after Boston left. Why wasn’t Nick in the last scene? He helped with the hostel. More than sand anyways. But where was he. My poor baby.

“You have to be objective about money to use it fairly. It doesn't make you any better or any more useful than any other person. Even if you use your money to help people...that doesn't make you better than somebody who has no money but is sympathetic and genuinely loving to fellow human beings.” ― Keith Haring/ Keith Haring Journals

Queer artists 16/20 - Keith Haring

Keith Haring was one of the best known pop artists of the 20th century. In 1978, Keith moved to New York City and joined a thriving and vibrant art community, particularly being inspired by the technical skill and spontaneity of subway graffiti. He began to draw on empty advertisement panels, creating hundred of drawings between 1980 and 1985, and sometimes as many as forty a day. In 1986, having achieved international recognition, he opened his retail store the Pop Shop, aiming to make his art accessible to the public. He said, "My shop is an extension of what I was doing in the subway stations, breaking down the barriers between high and low art." 

Many of Keith's works were large-scale murals in public spaces and were created for charities and public service campaigns. After he was diagnosed with AIDS in 1988, he created the Keith Haring Foundation to preserve his work and support organisations assisting children and those with HIV/AIDS. He also used his work as a vehicle to talk about his own experience with the disease and to spread awareness about HIV/AIDS and safe sex, as well as criticising public complacency through the motif of "hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil" figures. About the effect of his diagnosis on his art, he said, "My life is my art, it's intertwined....When AIDS became a reality in terms of my life, it started becoming a subject in my paintings. The more it affected my life the more it affected my work." 

Keith passed away from AIDS-related complications on 16 Feb 1990 at the age of 31.

i found out yesterday, btw, that there is a fellowship at callen lorde funded by the Keith Haring foundation for nurse practitioners to come and specialize in queer health

which is wild because this is exactly what I've been looking for......... and the fact that it's related to Keith at all, as WELL as my former colleagues in sexual health? just feels like ... a big wink from the universe.

i feel invigorated about the direction of my career for the first time in a long time. :)
