Now on view at CLAMP in New York, Morrisroe’s 8mm home movie follows a phone sex operator and her friends, one of whom meets an unfortunate end
“There’s a roughness and grittiness to Morrisroe’s films that relates to the photographs,” says Clamp. “The photographs go beyond just being documents and become objects in their own right. There is an anti-aesthetic to all of his work that makes it look like anybody can create art, and also a more honest connection between artwork and the artist. It’s something that unites the artists of the Boston School.
” Like Goldin, who saw her friends as celebrities and rock stars, Morrisroe recognised collectivism as a creative enterprise. Together they forged a new language of photography forged out of desire and need. For Morrisroe, art was an extension of life, one that transcended his untimely death from Aids-related illness at just 30 years old.
