ニュー・ミュージアム・オブ・コンテンポラリー・アートのインスタグラム(newmuseum) - 6月25日 00時09分

In March 1987, the collective ACT UP (the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power) was formed in New York City with the aim of bringing attention, through direct political action, to the AIDS crisis and the federal government's ignorance about the disease. Inspired by posters made by the Art Workers Coalition and the Guerrilla Girls, the group created their own poster to be wheatpasted widely on the streets of New York. They chose the phrase SILENCE = DEATH alongside a pink triangle, a reclaimed symbol of pride, which was historically used to identify queer members in concentration camps in Nazi Germany.
.
That same month, New Museum curator, William Olander, himself a participant in ACT UP, invited members of the group to create an installation as part of the Window Series, in the window of the New Museum on Broadway. The result was the exhibition “Let the Record Show…” for which the “SILENCE = DEATH” sign was produced. Throughout the years, the sign has been reinstalled at the New Museum multiple times. While the original poster and sign were created specifically in response to the AIDS epidemic, their content resonates with other forms of activism and resistance as a call to political action and warning of the deadly effects of passivity in crises.
