games of russian roulette \u2013 these are just some of the tales in Bedtime Stories for Bad Boys and Girls, a new book and exhibition by artists <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/larry-clark\">Larry Clark<\/a> and James Gilroy. The two met in downtown New York in the early 1970s and formed an instant and permanent bond rooted in drugs and a shared pleasure in indeterminancy. \u201cWe were living with abandon and not thinking about the consequences,\u201d Clark tells me. Gilroy elaborates, \u201cBack then, you walked down the block and maybe ran into somebody or into a situation. We\u2019d just get pulled into something every day.\u201d The collection, which sits somewhere between an unflinching memoir and a personal sketchbook, collides their bold, vulgar, hilarious oral histories with Clark\u2019s photographs and Gilroy\u2019s drawings. Each gesture amplifies the next omission in a chaotic and sometimes nightmarish stream of consciousness that\u2019s impossible to put down.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The book spans many years, ranging from the 50s to the 70s and beyond. Throughout, we encounter Clark\u2019s snapshots of artists, lovers and revellers staring down the camera \u2013 images brought into being as proof of life, rather than cynically extracting from it. Gilroy\u2019s drawings brim with rapture, atmospheric sketches of the weird and unpalatable, spurring you to read on. In an art economy voracious for autobiographical narrative, you can\u2019t help but feel like the friends are playing a game of cat and mouse with the reader, testing the cultural critic\u2019s threshold for the messy truth, waiting to see who squeals first. And yet, underneath the salacious stories runs a rich vein of tenderness. The dialogue between Clark and Gilroy is intimate and painstakingly honest, offering a rare glimpse into the connective tissue of male friendship over multiple decades.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>As poet Max Blagg writes in the book\u2019s foreword, Clark and Gilroy are \u201cveterans of a thousand burnups, breakups, smash palaces, and nocturnal collisions that they somehow survived like the mythical phoenix\u201d. Their survival is significant, and as the book reveals, a rare viewpoint amongst so much young death that surrounded them \u2013 a haunting destruction of possibility. Against all odds, the duo, [Clark, now 83, and James, 78], remain standing \u2013 two inseparable friends, able to reflect upon their merciless view of the world we live in and their own participation in its madness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Here, Clark and Gilroy speak on living free, valuing the unexpected, and the importance of bearing witness to your friends\u2019 lives.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"f0019b90-7f9c-4b8c-b80c-b41700e5b94a\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/1505\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/2\/1442365.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"0.75\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Bedtime Stories for Bad Boys and Girls\" class=\"img\" height=\"2000\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/2\/1442365.jpg\" width=\"1505\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"credit\">\u00a9 James Gilroy<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><strong>What was your first interaction like?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span><strong>Larry Clark: <\/strong>Ralph Gibson was a friend.

What was the connective tissue that helped retain the relationship?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span><strong>Larry Clark: <\/strong>Initially, it was drugs, man. We maybe shouldn\u2019t say that, but back in those days, that was contingent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><strong>James Gilmore:<\/strong> I think beyond that, we had the same sensibility, you know, both having come from the street&#8230; Larry came to New York and took to it right away. Not everyone\u2019s like that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>What was the genesis of <em>Bedtime Stories for Bad Boys and Girls<\/em>?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span><strong>Larry Clark: <\/strong>I mean, we were always telling each other stories and sharing stories amongst friends. People get high, and you tell your personal stuff. They bare their soul with you. The whole thing is to bear witness to their lives. You wouldn\u2019t do that with someone you didn\u2019t feel safe with.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>What was the process like putting the book together?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span><strong>James Gilmore:<\/strong> I started doing drawings from Larry\u2019s stories. Larry has so many pictures of so many experiences that he can give me to riff on. I use that process of drawing on an oil ground, so it doesn\u2019t look like just a drawing on paper.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>There was a social and cultural revolution while you were growing up, and the book speaks to the highs and lows, the pleasures and the casualties. Did you feel free?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span><strong>Larry Clark:<\/strong> We didn\u2019t really worry about the dangers back then. We were living with abandon and not thinking about the consequences. Had you thought about the consequences, you wouldn\u2019t have been doing that shit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><strong>James Gilmore:<\/strong> Those were wild days. It went right up to Woodstock. Meanwhile, there\u2019s war going on&#8230; revolution&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><strong>Larry Clark:<\/strong> Tune in, turn on, drop out.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"f1163fcf-e9d6-4ab5-9f49-b41700e5b5b7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/2000\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/2\/1442363.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"1.5\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Bedtime Stories for Bad Boys and Girls\" class=\"img\" height=\"1334\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/2\/1442363.jpg\" width=\"2000\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"credit\">\u00a9 Image courtesy of <span class=\"nowrap\">Luhring Augustine<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><strong>One thing that reverberates through the book is that it\u2019s about a different world. How do you view the current social\/cultural moment in comparison to your own experiences growing up in the 60s and 70s?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span><strong>James Gilmore:<\/strong> Back then, you didn\u2019t have a smartphone, so instead you walked down the block and maybe ran into somebody or into a situation. We\u2019d just get pulled into something every day. I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s happening now. Back then, the unexpected would happen. Today, everything feels a lot more scripted, everyone\u2019s on camera everywhere they go, every concert is recorded&#8230; It\u2019s just a different predator. Imagine the era of these stories when Larry and I were hanging out. You could work two or three days and make enough cash for the month. You could take that cash and go away for three months, knowing it was possible to get a job when you got back. I don\u2019t think you could do that now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>You\u2019ve witnessed so much together. Is there a catharsis in making this project together, in that you managed to survive it all against the odds?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span><strong>Larry Clark:<\/strong> We\u2019re still standing if that\u2019s catharsis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>This book feels so radically unfiltered. Any advice for young artists now navigating rising censorship and oppression?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span><strong>Larry Clark:<\/strong> Don\u2019t pay attention to that shit. Tell your story. I don\u2019t know, otherwise it\u2019s a lie. You\u2019re the one who has to choose. Don\u2019t try to please somebody else.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><strong>James Gilmore:<\/strong> Tell your story \u2018cause you want your friends to be close. You want people to witness who you really are.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><strong>Larry Clark:<\/strong> Tell your story.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><strong>James Gilmore:<\/strong> Remember when you got sober? How you used to say, \u2018I\u2019m sober in the United States\u2019? I\u2019m back in the United States, and I\u2019m sober. When I\u2019m in Europe, I drink a drink. When I come back here, I\u2019m sober in the United States.

The two met in downtown New York in the early 1970s and formed an instant and permanent bond rooted in drugs and a shared pleasure in indeterminancy. \u201cWe were living with abandon and not thinking about the consequences,\u201d Clark tells me. Gilroy elaborates, \u201cBack then, you walked down the block and maybe ran into somebody or into a situation. We\u2019d just get pulled into something every day.\u201d The collection, which sits somewhere between an unflinching memoir and a personal sketchbook, collides their bold, vulgar, hilarious oral histories with Clark\u2019s photographs and Gilroy\u2019s drawings. Each gesture amplifies the next omission in a chaotic and sometimes nightmarish stream of consciousness that\u2019s impossible to put down.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The book spans many years, ranging from the 50s to the 70s and beyond. Throughout, we encounter Clark\u2019s snapshots of artists, lovers and revellers staring down the camera \u2013 images brought into being as proof of life, rather than cynically extracting from it. Gilroy\u2019s drawings brim with rapture, atmospheric sketches of the weird and unpalatable, spurring you to read on. In an art economy voracious for autobiographical narrative, you can\u2019t help but feel like the friends are playing a game of cat and mouse with the reader, testing the cultural critic\u2019s threshold for the messy truth, waiting to see who squeals first. And yet, underneath the salacious stories runs a rich vein of tenderness. The dialogue between Clark and Gilroy is intimate and painstakingly honest, offering a rare glimpse into the connective tissue of male friendship over multiple decades.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>As poet Max Blagg writes in the book\u2019s foreword, Clark and Gilroy are \u201cveterans of a thousand burnups, breakups, smash palaces, and nocturnal collisions that they somehow survived like the mythical phoenix\u201d. Their survival is significant, and as the book reveals, a rare viewpoint amongst so much young death that surrounded them \u2013 a haunting destruction of possibility. Against all odds, the duo, [Clark, now 83, and James, 78], remain standing \u2013 two inseparable friends, able to reflect upon their merciless view of the world we live in and their own participation in its madness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Here, Clark and Gilroy speak on living free, valuing the unexpected, and the importance of bearing witness to your friends\u2019 lives.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"f0019b90-7f9c-4b8c-b80c-b41700e5b94a\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/1505\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/2\/1442365.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"0.75\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Bedtime Stories for Bad Boys and Girls\" class=\"img\" height=\"2000\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/2\/1442365.jpg\" width=\"1505\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"credit\">\u00a9 James Gilroy<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><strong>What was your first interaction like?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span><strong>Larry Clark: <\/strong>Ralph Gibson was a friend.

What was the connective tissue that helped retain the relationship?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span><strong>Larry Clark: <\/strong>Initially, it was drugs, man. We maybe shouldn\u2019t say that, but back in those days, that was contingent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><strong>James Gilmore:<\/strong> I think beyond that, we had the same sensibility, you know, both having come from the street&#8230; Larry came to New York and took to it right away. Not everyone\u2019s like that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>What was the genesis of <em>Bedtime Stories for Bad Boys and Girls<\/em>?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span><strong>Larry Clark: <\/strong>I mean, we were always telling each other stories and sharing stories amongst friends. People get high, and you tell your personal stuff. They bare their soul with you. The whole thing is to bear witness to their lives. You wouldn\u2019t do that with someone you didn\u2019t feel safe with.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>What was the process like putting the book together?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span><strong>James Gilmore:<\/strong> I started doing drawings from Larry\u2019s stories. Larry has so many pictures of so many experiences that he can give me to riff on. I use that process of drawing on an oil ground, so it doesn\u2019t look like just a drawing on paper.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>There was a social and cultural revolution while you were growing up, and the book speaks to the highs and lows, the pleasures and the casualties.

We\u2019d just get pulled into something every day. I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s happening now. Back then, the unexpected would happen. Today, everything feels a lot more scripted, everyone\u2019s on camera everywhere they go, every concert is recorded&#8230; It\u2019s just a different predator. Imagine the era of these stories when Larry and I were hanging out. You could work two or three days and make enough cash for the month. You could take that cash and go away for three months, knowing it was possible to get a job when you got back. I don\u2019t think you could do that now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>You\u2019ve witnessed so much together.
