Elizabeth Murray is the 2015—16 Winter/Spring BAMbill Cover Artist, part of BAM’s tradition of visual art on the cover of BAMbill. Since 1983, dozens of artists have par- ticipated, including Roy Lichtenstein, Andy , Chuck Close, Rosemarie Trockel, and more. If Only Cup is featured in Heart & Mind, an exhibition of works by Murray on view at BAM through Feb 14, organized by Pace Gallery in conjunction with BAM and Trisha Brown Dance Company. Murray’s visual design can be seen in this season’s presentation of Brown’s 2003 work PRESENT TENSE. For more information, please contact BAM Visual Art at [email protected] or 718.636.4101.

Elizabeth Murray (1940—2007) was born in Chicago and received a BFA (Art Institute of Chicago) and an MFA (Mills College, Oakland, CA). Murray’s paintings and drawings blur the distinction between abstraction and representation, and her shaped canvases challenge traditional concepts of painting. She received numerous honors, including the Skowhegan Medal for Painting (1986); a MacArthur Fellowship (1999), and a College Art Association Distinguished Artist Award for Lifetime Achievement (2006). Murray’s work has been the subject of more than 70 solo exhibitions worldwide. The Dallas Museum of Art organized a 1987 retrospective of her work, which traveled to Elizabeth Murray venues including the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los If Only Cup, October 1997—January 1998 Angeles; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; and Whitney Museum of American Art.

Life is full of second chances, even if we don’t always make the most of them. Take the case Brian Scott Lipton: What was your original of the great Irish dramatist Oscar Wilde, whose inspiration for writing The Judas Kiss? reputation never quite recovered after his ill- conceived love affair with the young poet, Lord David Hare: I’d admired Wilde since I was 10 Alfred “Bosie” Douglas. Or, conversely, take years old. I tried to study him at university, but the renowned British playwright David Hare, I was told by my Cambridge English literature whose very play on that subject, The Judas Kiss, supervisor that Wilde was not serious, and that received tepid reviews on Broadway in 1998, if I wrote my fi nal year dissertation on him, I but which has been since revived to glorious would be a laughing stock. I ignored the advice. reviews by director Neil Armfi eld and star Rupert I never wanted to write biographical plays but I Everett (whom the UK Telegraph says “was born had always been fascinated by the question of to play Wilde”). This acclaimed production now why Wilde turned down the opportunity to run comes to the BAM Harvey from May 11 through away and avoid prosecution. But I also loved the June 12. For BAMbill, I recently spoke to Hare period of his life after prison when, in exile and #TheJudasKiss May 11—Jun 12 with apparent perversity, he returned to the lover DH: The 1998 production was a sort of who had precipitated his downfall. I decided legendary mess. It wasn’t anybody’s fault.

BSL: How long did it take to write the play?

DH: The play was fi rst done in London in 1998. I spruced it up a bit for Broadway later that spring. The fi rst act was very diffi cult to write because it contains so much information which I was trying to convey painlessly. But the second act wrote itself.

BSL: In an age where homosexuality is not a crime in many countries, and legalized gay marriage is spreading across the world, what relevance do you feel the play has in 2016?

DH: Honestly, Wilde and Bosie had both been having sex with boys, some of whom who were under-age. Is that any more acceptable today? I don’t think so. As Bosie says, the paradox of Wilde is that he’s a gay hero who never considered telling the truth.
