To celebrate Pride month in Madrid, the Ibero-American Institute of Madrid has organized a free exhibition of the most emblematic works of Tom’s long career while celebrating the 40th anniversary of Tom of Finland Foundation.

Following his 2023 exhibition Desert Lasso and Other Adventures of The Gay Asian Cowboy presented at Tom of Finland Foundation, Oat Montien continues his exploration of the cowboy archetype as an epitome of masculinity with his biggest solo show yet.

The artist's work explores connections between the foundational imagery of his childhood dreams, Indigenous heritage, and modern life. Each material he uses has an emotional background, a meaning, and a story, which builds his own symbolic universe in context.

Fleshly excesses are explored in pairings that underscore their works as playful and political. In pairing their work, this presentation provides a significant refocus and reveal interconnected ideas surrounding gender, sexuality, taste and class.⁠

In honor of Tom of Finland Foundation’s 40th Anniversary: A weekend of events supporting Tom of Finland Foundation and The Queer Culture and Arts Foundation (QCAF), a Pines-based non-profit.

An immersive weekend takeover of the Pines, themed to celebrate Queer, erotic art and culture.

Even though July was officially chosen as “Pride Month” in Berlin, June is generally and internationally considered to be the same month. There could not have been a better start to this in the capital: for the second time this weekend, Foundation hosted a Festival dedicated to Queer, particularly Gay, art.

One thing is clear: Tom of Finland (1920-1991) fits into Berghain like a glove. Especially since he showed Gay men as happy, self-confident people. And Berghain has been a place that is proud of its Gay roots from the very beginning, even back in the days of Ostgut.

Durk Dehner, cofounder of Foundation, has been a big part of keeping Tom’s legacy alive. Tom’s art, especially those iconic leather-clad men, broke barriers and spoke to people all over. It’s all about being true to yourself, especially for the LGBTQIA+ community.

A cornerstone of Queer culture, the Tom of Finland Art & Culture Festival is the planet’s largest erotic art fair. Starting in 1993, this Festival has evolved into a global celebration that brings together the LGBTQ+ art community.

The event unfurled a vibrant program filled with exhibitions, performances, and boundary-pushing interactive experiences over three unforgettable days. Set against the gritty, iconic backdrop of Halle am Berghain for the very first time.

We will be drawing from a live male model in a variety classical poses and highly graphic depictions of homoerotic nudity. We will be outside at TOM House (weather permitting).
