    Queer Newark Oral History Project Interviewee: Walter Newkirk Interviewer: Whitney Strub Date: February 26, 2018 Location: Chatham, NJ Whitney Strub: All right. We are recording. This is Whitney Strub with the Queer Newark Oral History project. I’m here in Chatham, New Jersey. It’s February 26th, 2018. I’m with Walter Newkirk in his apartment, and I’m gonna set the recorder over by you, Walter. That should pick up fine, and thanks for doing this. I wanna begin just by saying this. Normally, we ask for a full life story, but because you’ve written your memoirs, The Secret Life of Walter Newkirk, your memoirs are available for anybody to read, and so my vision was a sort of targeted stroll through some of the highlights here that I wanna ask you about and then talk about Newark a bit, and then kind of—from there, whatever you want. Let me see. In the introduction—I kind of loved the way you begin. You describe the book as, “If you like movies, The Secret Life of Walter Newkirk is a little bit Girl, Interrupted with some One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and Valley of the Dolls thrown in.” Walter Newkirk: It is, though, isn’t it? Whitney Strub: That, I think, was the perfect description, and I think—I wanna come back to the topic of movies because they figure kind of prominently in your life, but to get started, just say a little bit about your family background. We like to collect a little demographic information and geographical— Walter Newkirk: Where my family are from? Whitney Strub: Yeah.

Art in the Age of Information Saturation By Will Heinrich November 22, 2010 | 11:17 p.m EMAIL PRINT MORE... How is the Internet changing art? Or, to put the question another way, what is the significance of movable type? And is it important that the codex is beginning to replace the scroll? It is, of course—but also, it isn't, so it takes a particularly deft hand to engage questions like these with as much wit, humor and intelligence as "Free" at the New Museum, a show assembled by Lauren Cornell from thoughtful wall labels, a beautifully designed online catalog and the disparate sensibilities of 22 contemporary artists. Seth Price, to begin with, engages the question directly. His piece "Dispersion," a perpetually and Untitled by Huma Bhaba. deliberately unfinished essay on the distribution of +Enlarge art and ideas, shows up printed on empty vacuum- form plastic packing material and mounted on the wall as a sculpture called Essay With Knots. Jon Rafman, in a similarly earnest vein, mounts blown-up Google Street Views images that Google, presumably, regrets, like a house on fire in Arkansas, or a naked woman on a beach, or teenagers in Northern Ireland giving the finger to Google's own all-seeing eye.
