Mogutin was born in Siberia. A queer activist in the late years of the now-defunct Soviet Union, SM was tossed out of the workers' former paradise. He was granted political asylum in the USA. His career is distinctive. His poetry and his photography have brought him great renown. NYC GO-GO is his collection of photos from the downtown scene in New York, featuring young men performing in the erotic industry, stripping, dancing and behaving with all too much irrational exuberance. This is perfect material for Mogutin, and he documents this scene with affection and sensitivity. It's not always pretty, but, of course, it's not supposed to be. Thus his subject. NYC GO-GO includes an essay by BRUCE BENDERSON. This is a hardcover from PowerHouse Books, $35.00 Quote
