Mark Aguhar, 1987-2012
"I first saw Mark on a dudeblog, someone reblogged a video of her and I was supposed to think what I was watching was bizarre/pitiful/gross/funny. Instead I felt better about everything I had ever been through, and I laughed, and felt bad for anyone too plain and typical to get anything positive out of it." —Tumblr user "BRB Nightmares."
According to friends, artist Mark Aguhar has died. Among other projects, Mark ran a blog called Call Out Queen. Aguhar's MFA performance at the University of Illinois can be found here; an archive of drawings can be found here; an archive of performances and sculpture can be found here.
Update: There'll be a memorial for Mark in Chicago, later this week:
March 17th 12pm-3pm
Roots & Culture Contemporary Art Center
1034 N MILWAUKEE
CHICAGO, IL 60622
this fits my mood of late precisely Mr. Sicha.
to my knowledge, mark's pronouns were "they" and "she," rather than "he."
@pussy-strut yes, i think so as well; we studiously avoided pronouns here out of respect.
