Ep.1 Eileen Myles reads 'Vanishing'

Thought Pieces

In the first of this brand new podcast from MACK, poet Eileen Myles reads their essay 'Vanishing,' which was published in 'The Shabbiness of Beauty' by Moyra Davey and Peter Hujar. Having pasted photographs by Davey and Hujar on the walls of their New York City apartment, Myles begins an exploratory piece that spans the unrelenting passing of time, the remarkable visual dialogue between these two artists and their shared visual language.

About 'The Shabbiness of Beauty'
'The Shabbiness of Beauty' is a visual dialogue that crosses generational divides with the easy intimacy of a late-night phone call, with little-known, scarcely seen images from Peter Hujar's archives set in dialogue with Moyra Davey's own photographs, forming a visual exploration of physicality and sexuality that crackles with wit, tenderness, and perspicacity.
