LIFE AND WORK OF A GAY HERO from Bruno Gmünder Verlag GmbH by F. Valentine Hooven, III Meet the Author at the Fair Tom of Finland – Life and Work of a Gay Hero traces Tom’s life and work from his childhood and student days in Finland, through his suc- cessful career in advertising and his rise to cult status in the international Gay community and beyond. Lushly illustrated with his draw- ings and seldom-seen photographs, this vol- ume brings to life Tom of Finland – the man, the artist, the icon. With this book the author set out to present all the elements of Tom and his work; empha- sizing how he was not just an artist with the uncanny ability to turn a Gay man on, but to subtly and consistently show him how to be a proud, happy and sexy man.

This timely exhibition, will celebrate the artist whose homoerotic visions had a profound effect on gay communities in Europe and North America during a pivotal period in their history and continue to have an immeasurable influence on popular culture today. Tom of Finland: Love and Liberation will display 40 works on paper produced from the 1960s to the 1980s, both before and after homosexuality was decriminalised in much of Europe and the U.S. It will include early drawings of men fighting that constituted the only legal way to show physical contact between men before decriminalisation, as well as illustrations from his iconic Kake comics and rare linocuts produced in very limited editions. Many of these works, on loan from the Los Angeles-based Tom of Finland Foundation, will be exhibited to the public for the first time.

Er wird diesmal unter dem Motto "Asien und Europa vor der Jahrtausendwende: Neue Chancen und Herausforde- rungen" stehen. Zum Sommersemester 1999 konnten zwei weitere der sechs ostasienbezogenen Professuren besetzt werden. Beide neuen Professoren waren vorher an japanischen Universitäten tätig. Florian Coulmas von der Chûô Universität in Tôkyô nahm den Ruf auf die Professur für Sprache und Kultur/Geschichte Ostasiens an, Karen Shire kam von der International Christian University, ebenfalls in Tôkyô, an die Universität Duisburg und übernahm die Professur für Gesellschaft Japans. Die letzte noch offene Professur für Wirtschaft Chinas hoffen wir, bis zum Sommersemester 2000 besetzen und damit erstmals mit "voller Besatzung" arbeiten zu können. Die letzten Monate waren von der "Strukturdebatte" an der Universität geprägt. Die Gerhard- Mercator-Universität diskutierte über die Neustrukturierung der Fächer und neue Schwer- punkte in Forschung und Lehre.

  • Bob Mizer: ARTIFACTS Curated by Billy Miller in Conjunction with the Bob Mizer Foundation
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: EXHIBITION: Bob Mizer: ARTIFACTS Curated by Billy Miller in conjunction with the Bob Mizer Foundation DATES: RECEPTION: December 14, 2012 — January 27, 2013 Friday, December 14: 6-8pm INVISIBLE-EXPORTS is pleased to present Bob Mizer: ARTIFACTS, the New York solo debut of work and objects by Bob Mizer. * * * Most widely known as a photographer-filmmaker, independent publisher, and midcentury iconoclast, Bob Mizer (1922-1992) was an erotic auteur and a lyrical chronicler of the pre-Stonewall demimonde. In his meticulously staged idiosyncratic private work, Mizer revealed himself as a conscientious artist of intimacy and depth, a visionary stylist of the male-on-male gaze as it was refracted through a culture suffused with masculine iconography, which yet stymied and redirected the vectors of desire. The objects and photographs here show Mizer to be the progenitor of a new kind of devotional work that honors the kaleidoscopic typology of desire in the final stages of the underground era, while approaching it simultaneously as an improvised and mesmerizing ethnography. Mizer founded the Athletic Model Guild studio in 1945 when American censorship laws permitted women, but not men, to be photographed partially nude, so long as the result was “artistic” in nature. In 1947 he was wrongly accused of having sex with a minor and subsequently served a year-long prison sentence at a desert work camp in Saugus, California. But his career was catapulted into infamy in 1954 when he was convicted of the unlawful distribution of obscene material through the US mail. The material in question was a series of black and white photographs, taken by Mizer, of young bodybuilders wearing what were known as posing straps — a precursor to the G-string.
