A Public Thing

In 1989, Keith Haring was invited to paint a mural at ArtCenter’s Hillside Campus in honor of the second annual World AIDS Day (then called AIDS Awareness Day) and as part of the first-ever Day Without Art. Haring agreed (with the stipulation that the mural remain in place until AIDS has been eradicated) and spent two days painting freehand in front of an audience of students awed by Haring’s vision – at once joyful and playfully foreboding – unfolding before their eyes. The untitled work, which has become a literal centerpiece of the College’s Hillside Campus, remains the first and last mural Haring would paint in Los Angeles. This short film pairs animation and archival video with exclusive audio of Haring reflecting on his approach to the mural he painted and the meaning behind his public work. This short film premiered at ShortFest in Palm Springs and the Fine Art Film Festival in Venice in 2024.
