The Cuban-American artist Felix Gonzalez-Torres (1957-1996), who died at the age of 38, remains one of the most influential figures in late twentieth-century art. According to Bell Hooks: "By confronting a subversive beauty, an aesthetic of loss, Gonzalez-Torres insists that our lives are the space in which beauty manifests itself; here, the power of relationships and human interactions creates that grace which 'will never pass into nothingness.'"
Based on Untitled (Last Light) (1993), an installation presented in Dimanche sans fin where light becomes an act of memory and resistance, this conference explores a practice that transforms everyday objects into meditations on love and loss, the public and the intimate, homosexuality and the AIDS crisis. His work reveals the fragile beauty of human connections, that which persists despite erasure.
