Bruce LaBruce is an internationally acclaimed queer filmmaker, photographer, writer, and artist based in Toronto.
About
He has made ten feature-length movies, countless shorts and was most recently honoured with a retrospective at the Modern of Modern Art, New York. This is his FIRST UK solo show, presenting work from his archives - including never-before-seen material - through to new projects from the present day.
This Haus of Bruce LaBruce, curated by Bren O'Callaghan and Andrew Ellerby, the first of its type in the UK, profiles the powerful, the provocative, the playful, the pornographic and the problematic nature of the LaBrucian lens. It is unashamedly raw and visceral; but scratch the bloodstained surface and you see glimpses of tenderness, affection and naked truths.
Reflections on past and current politics, gender divides and sexual positivity. The visual potency of Bruce’s imagery demonstrates a keen eye and intentional fast hand, with a sensitivity that walks the line between the collaborative gaze and your own voyeurism, between exploitation and initiation.
