Dr. Elisa Glick, Associate Professor of English and Women’s & Gender Studies at the University of Missouri discusses Andy Warhol's Camp Humor and her new book Materializing Queer Desire: Wilde to Andy Warhol.Famously describing himself as a "deeply superficial" person, Andy Warhol used fashion, glamour, commercialism, and celebrity connections to advertise himself as a highly polished, aesthetic surface. But was he simply a mirror who blankly reflected the world around him? Reading from her new book Materializing Queer Desire: Oscar Wilde to Andy Warhol, Elisa Glick explores the artist's films, artworks, and writings to bring into focus the Warhol many of us don't know--the queer multimedia artist and documentary chronicler of his times who was funny, emotional, campy, daring, socially committed, and audaciously sexual. Glick teaches queer theory and literary and cultural studies at the University of Missouri. Like Andy Warhol, she thinks it would be very glamorous to be reincarnated as a big ring on Elizabeth Taylor's finger. She will also sign books at this event. | 7
