Visual AIDS observes Day With(out) Art / World AIDS Day, December 1, 2011, with simultaneous, free screenings of Untitled, a film by Jim Hodges, Encke King, and Carlos Marques da Cruz throughout New York City and across the United States at over 65 major museums, arts organizations, community groups and colleges.

In New York City, 16 partners including the Whitney Museum of American Art, MAD Museum of Art and Design, New Museum, and Creative Time at the IFC Center will present free screenings. A discussion about the film, hosted by Visual Aids, Creative Time and the filmmakers will be held at the IFC Center, featuring Shanti Avirgan, Malik Gaines and Che Gossett.

Untitled is a 60-minute non-linear montage of archival and pop footage recalling the passionate activism sparked by the early years of the AIDS crisis.

Beginning with a reflection on the early AIDS epidemic, Untitled eschews a linear narrative to introduce a fractious timeline, moving from the sublime to the tragic and back again. By juxtaposing mainstream network news, activist footage, artists' works, and popular entertainment from the last turbulent decades, Untitled references regimes of power that precipitated a generation of AIDS and queer activism and continues today with international struggles for freedom and expression.

Jim Hodges has created a broad range of work exploring themes of fragility, temporality, love, and death in a highly original and poetic vocabulary. His works frequently deploy different materials and techniques: from ready‐made objects to traditional media, such as graphite and ink. He currently lives and works in New York City. Carlos Marques da Cruz works with artists, performers, and filmmakers world-wide. Encke King is a film and video producer, editor, and writer based in New York.
