Camp was a curio
of
ambivalence for the Susan Sontag generation—the product of an arts culture
too
savvy and too swish to take seriously the modernist claims of imperious
America.
But a lot has changed since 1964, and although irony has metastasized
in
American culture just as Sontag feared, camp remains a curiously vital tool
for
those laboring amidst disaffected generations but hoping to forge new meaning
—
a personal meaning, an
operatic
performance of self, private history and identity — from a common
aesthetic
patrimony.
For those artists
whose
work is collected here, that camp patrimony is not a novelty but a
marvelous
palimpsest—a layer cake of cultural performance and ambiguous content
lacquered
over not to ironize sentiment but to caress it. In Notes on Notes on
"Camp",
the pliable visual language that emerged in the subversive culture of post
AbEx
New York is not a dated satirical vogue but a running study of
latent
earnestness, the camp voice not a piercing critique but a wellspring of
common
feeling—longing writ large.
