Reflections in both the literal and symbolic sense. The exhibition will showcase small-scale acrylic ink and felt tip marker portraits exploring body image, the male figure and diverse sexual expression. Tristor has also explored large-scale works in acrylic on paper and canvas over his Tom of Finland Foundation Residency.

Gear up! Black and white combine for one of the sexiest nights of the weekend. Enter the realm of fantasy where you can unleash your inner bad boy. This sexy night of leather and gear features DJs Mohammad and Nina Flowers. A portion of the proceeds benefit Tom of Finland Foundation.

Jack Davey has had solo exhibitions in Belgium and England. This exhibition, in collaboration with Shirley Morales, is his first in the United States. He has also had works in group exhibitions in Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, China (Hong Kong) and Belgium. He has done residencies in France, Switzerland and Italy. 

Featuring artwork by Misael Urquico, Adam de Ville, Larkin Cypher, Brian Smith, Cortney Emerson, Patrick Thai, Frau Sakra, Sebastian Nabel, Barbra Loveless, Carl Alessi, Rev. Steven Johnson Leyba, Kat Philbin, Sean @CRPFCTRY, and Clint Carney.

Exploring intimacy, erotica, sex, sexuality, longing, and desire. Presented by Darin Klein & Friends, it features drawings, paintings, artists’ books, zines, ceramic sculptures, perfume, and fine art prints.

Gautier has an almost fetishistic relationship with the ceramics he creates. His creations are resolutely simple; they are containers. They are not only aimed at ornamentation, but are both functional, imposing, robust and easy to handle.

Haynes’ new body of work focuses on the moment a person is brought into the world. Not the idealized, sanitized birth that is seen (or more pointedly not seen) in art history, but rather the bloody, raw, uncensored labor of it. Haynes continues to subvert the portraiture tradition through her Crowning series.

A relaxed setting to hone your skills. We will be outside at TOM House (weather permitting). Room for 25 artists only in the live session.

At Tom of Finland Foundation, National Book Award-winner Justin Torres read with Brontez Purnell. Attendant for the reading were Semiotext(e) editor Hedi El Kholti; curator Rubén Esparza; painter Amanda Kirkhuff; Shirley Morales; sometime drag queen and multi-decade viral hitmaker Michael Lucid with boo Abel Martinez; and a gaggle of punky queers, who reeled as Brontez read his memoir-in-verse, Ten Bridges I’ve Burnt.

In the five years since it’s kicked off, LA Art Week has evolved into a sprawling citywide festival defined not only by the big-player fairs like Frieze and Felix, but also by the dozens of pop-ups, project spaces, performances, panel discussions, and, of course, cocktail hours. To get a glimpse into the mise-en-scène, Document sent its new Editor of Arts and Lifestyle Katie Rex to the west coast.

Tom of Finland Foundation and Paper Magazine both turn 40 years old this year!
