David Wojnarowicz retrospective dominates Glasgow International 2026
The 2026 Glasgow International festival is anchored by a David Wojnarowicz exhibition inside a decaying Georgian terrace house. Visitors can see reproductions of his cow-head mural from the New York piers through crumbling bricks. On the top floor, Wojnarowicz's deathbed photographs of his former lover Peter Hujar are displayed. Fragments of an unfinished film play through the splintered ceiling, and the artist's voice permeates the building. Wojnarowicz died in 1992 at age 37. Renèe Helèna Browne's film about cows is also highlighted.
