For World AIDS Day, artist Jordan Eagles will fill the Andy Warhol Museum with real blood of LGBTQ people

An immersive installation made from real blood donated by members of the LGBTQ+ community: is the one that U.S. artist Jordan Eagles (New York, 1977), who has been making his works from real human blood for years and has already worked with blood from the gay community, is preparing to unveil at theAndy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, U.S. (the largest museum in North America dedicated to a single artist, which opened in 1994 in Andy Warhol’s hometown).

The installation, titled Illuminations, will be unveiled to the public on Sunday, December 1, on World AIDS Day: it will be a work made of lights and blood that will project images directly onto Andy Warhol’s works in a way that will lead the public to reflect on the stigma that has always accompanied the HIV virus and other related issues (the U.S. Food and Drug Administration bans donations to men who have sex with men). Rounding out the museum’s program for the day is a program of short film screenings by artists on the topic of AIDS.

The event is produced by the Andy Warhol Museum cin collaboration with Allies for Healt + Wellbeing and VisualAIDS. For info you can visit the Andy Warhol Museum website.
