Collaborative Projects

One of the essential factors of Visual AIDS has been working collaboratively with artists, museums, art institutions, AIDS service organizations, schools, universities, and the general public.

The Art of AIDS Prevention, 2007-2009
The Art of AIDS Prevention is a project conceived by Dr. Paul Sendziuk of The University of Adelaide, Australia, and produced in collaboration with Visual AIDS. It investigates the way in which people living with HIV/AIDS, and the communities most affected by the disease, have been represented in cultural media in Australia and the United States. Through this Web site and a series of publications, exhibitions and conferences, the project aims to raise awareness about the crucial role of artists in fighting AIDS.

Web Gallery, various curators, 1999-2008
Each month, since 1999, Visual AIDS launches a new Web Exhibition, curated by representatives from the arts and AIDS communities. Each curator is invited to select between 10 to 20 images and write a brief curatorial statement. Past curators include: Edwin Ramoran (Longwood Art Gallery), Ted Bonin (Alexander and Bonin), Bruce Silverstein (Silverstein Photography), Brian Clamp (Clamp Art), Mark Hughes (Galerie Lelong), Monya Rowe (Monya Rowe Gallery), Jeffrey Walkowiak (Sara Meltzer Gallery), Rocio Aranda-Alvarado (Jersey City Museum), Elizabeth Burke & Abby Messitte (Clementine), Grady Turner (Museum of Sex), Franklin Sirmans (The Menil Collection, TX), Eungie Joo (Redcat, LA), Catharina Manchanda (Kemper Art Museum, MO), Sina Najafi & Gregory Williams (Cabinet), Carrie Moyer & Sue Schaffner (DAM!), Durk Dehner & Sharp (Tom of Finland Foundation), Barbara Hunt (The Judd Foundation), and artists/curators: Nayland Blake, AA Bronson, David Humphrey, Ernesto Pujol, Richard Renaldi, Leah Oates, Reed Massengill, Carrie Yamaoka, and many others.

The Robert Blanchon Project, Estate of Robert Blanchon, 2003-2007
Visual AIDS, in partnership with the estate of Robert Blanchon, began archiving the work that comprises the Robert Blanchon catalogue. The presentation of Robert's work is rooted in Visual AIDS' mission to ensure the legacy of visual artists with HIV and work to secure their place in art history. Robert, who died in 1999 after working prodigiously as an artist, professor, arts administrator, and provocateur, has always been at the center of those artists whose work was influential, timely, important, and threatened to be forgotten. This publication is presented so that his wide-ranging practice might be contemplated anew.

Design Ignites Change, class at Parsons The New School for Design, 2006
Students from Design Ignites Change class visited Visual AIDS in September for a lecture and discussion about art, sustainability, and AIDS activism. These extraordinary young designers, lead by instructor Ursula Barbour created some amazing HIV-prevention projects informed by the mission and history of Visual AIDS.

AIDS Awareness Poster Contest, School of Visual Arts, 2006
Visual AIDS and SVA collaborated on an AIDS Awareness poster contest in which students were encouraged to design and create an 8.5" x 11" poster that examines issues of HIV/AIDS prevention and awareness. The entries were judged by Amy Sadao and Joy Episalla. The winner's design was printed and distributed by Visual AIDS.

Share Your Vision, Exhibition, Catalogue & Calendar, Sponsored by Roche, 2003
