During the final week of Beryl Cook / Tom of Finland, join us for a series of late night openings of the exhibition and screenings of P Staff's 'The Foundation' (2015, 28 minutes).
About
The Foundation explores queer intergenerational relationships negotiated through historical materials. The film combines footage shot at the Tom of Finland Foundation in Los Angeles — home to the archive of the erotic artist and gay icon and a community of people that care for it — with choreographic sequences shot within a specially constructed set. Staff's film explores the multiple layers, sub-communities, interpersonal relations, and erotic and artistic imaginaries that the site of the Foundation hosts, promotes, and projects.
Wednesday 21–Friday 23 August 2024, 10 am–8 pm. Drop in, no booking required. Screenings are on a rolling basis.
