“Gober‘s closet is a hinge point, arriving twenty years after Marsha P. Johnson and company rioted at the Stonewall Inn and in the midst of the AIDS crisis. It opens to nothing, nowhere. There is no place to hide. Nothing in it, too- no collared shirts, no ties, no pressed trousers draped on hangers. It is empty because I have left it.”
from the essay “Robert Gober” by Andrew Durbin
