David Kordansky Gallery, Los Angeles, CA

An exhibition of works spanning over eighty years by more than seventy artists engaging with Tom of Finland’s radical ability to imagine a physique—and a world—that did not yet exist in popular culture. By channeling private fantasy into virtuosic drawings, Tom of Finland (Touko Laaksonen, 1920–1991) created a libidinal realm in which freedom and pleasure were the reigning tenets.

Reception: July 11, 5:00 - 8:00 p.m.

Both artists utilize materials and imagery that imply the physical hands or touch the objects once felt, as well as the traces and resonances of these touches.

The title, *Door, Seeking Light*, symbolizes the human journey of moving beyond a closed reality toward a new world. Furthermore, the door represents the boundary connecting wounds and healing, while the light signifies the hope that endures even at the depths of despair.

Repatriación Voluntaria [Voluntary Repatriation] brings together a group of recent works in which Rubén Ortiz Torres (Mexico, 1964) revisits questions that have accompanied his practice for decades: the construction of identity, the circulation of symbols, and the instability of origins themselves. Situated within the cultural space that connects Mexico and the United States, the exhibition begins with a deceptively simple question: what does it mean to return?
