World AIDS Day (Dec. 1) at the MIRL: To commemorate World AIDS Day and Day With(out) Art, an international day of action and mourning that first emerged in 1989 in response to the AIDS crisis, Visual AIDS presents COMPULSIVE PRACTICE in collaboration with PGSS Equity and Diversity. The film is a video compilation of compulsive, daily, and habitual practices by nine artists and activists who live with their cameras as one way to manage, reflect upon, and change how they are deeply affected by HIV/AIDS. The compulsive video practices of these artists serve many purposes—cure, treatment, outlet, lament, documentation, communication—and have many tones—obsessive, driven, poetic, neurotic, celebratory. COMPULSIVE PRACTICE will demonstrate the place of technology, self-expression, critique, and community in the many decades and the many experiences of artists and activists living with AIDS.
