Sponsored (?) by VisualAIDS; Blanchon died of AIDS.
2 items particularly touched me. One is an impossible eyeglass, made to fit one eye, viewable here: http://www.franklinartworks.org/exhibitions/blanchon.html

A description that does it no justice: It's a video, comprised of snippets culled from 80's gay porn. There are no sex scenes; the snippets are from the "narrative" parts of the porn films. In just one of many badly-acted scenes, a guy in running attire awkwardly pretends to fall and hurt his hamstring, whereupon he is helped to the "infirmary" by two other men. In the background, sometimes there, sometimes not, is The Manhattans' hit song:
What at first seems incredibly cheesy and laughable made me cry when I read the placard, which reminds us to link the video to what was called the "AIDS epidemic."
