  • 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.

He knew Kenneth Anger’s filmFireworks , with its homoerotic imagery of sailors, public bathrooms, phallic symbols, and milky fluids, was obscene, but the defendant’s attorney demanded further clarification of the word’s meaning. “I don’t have a dictionary with me, counsel,” Shaidell growled, before finally explaining, “obscene is something that isn’t general practice by the public.”1 Shaidell’s reluctantly given definition communicated on levels unintended by the beleaguered vice officer in 1958. For in cold war Los Angeles, obscenity charges indeed operated precisely as enforcing agents of a normative regime of sexual politics predicated on the suppression of the noncompliant, with homosexuality as the key offender. Such charges were systematically deployed in the interests of heteronormativity, utilized for a variety of interlocking ends: the literal erasure of homosexual visibility, the cultural conflation of the queer with the obscene, and the targeting of queer community formations for destruction.2 As such, these obscenity charges fit wholly into the political matrices of the cold war.

SHEPARD* ABSTRACT Long before substantive due process and equal protection ex- tended constitutional rights to homosexuals under the Fourteenth Amendment, in three landmark decisions by the Supreme Court of the United States, First Amendment law was both a weapon and shield in the expansion of LGBT rights. This Article examines constitutional law and “gaylaw” from the perspective of its beginning, through case studies of One, Inc. v. Olesen (1958),1 Sunshine Book Co. v. Summer- field (1958),2 and Manual Enterprises, Inc. v.

  • BOB MIZER Naked Ambition June 23 – August 18, 2018
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE BOB MIZER Naked Ambition June 23 – August 18, 2018 Opening Reception Saturday, June 23 from 6 to 8 pm M+B Photo is pleased to announce Naked Ambition, an exhibition of photographs by the late Bob Mizer. Mizer was one of the most significant figures of twentieth century homoerotic art and was a celebrated pioneer in developing the visual language for post-war gay culture. This is the artist’s first solo exhibition with the gallery and will include over 30 never-before- exhibited images from the Bob Mizer archive. The show runs from June 23 to August 25, 2018 with an opening reception on Saturday, June 23 from 6 to 8 pm at the M+B Photo exhibition space located at 1050 North Cahuenga Boulevard in Hollywood. “I feel more strength now than ever before, but this strength, this driving energy, shall be carefully bridled and directed with wisdom . My ambition is everything — pleasure, physical sensations mean nothing compared to great accomplishments.” - Bob Mizer in a letter to his mother from a prison work camp, May 28, 1947. Born in Hailey, Idaho in 1922, Mizer began his exploration and documentation of the male physique in 1945 when, at the age of twenty-four, he photographed the gymnast Forester Miller in the parlor of the home he shared with his mother. Soon after, Mizer began photographing in and around Muscle Beach, the infamous park outfitted with exercise equipment just south of the Santa Monica Pier. Mizer saw no need for discretion and soon befriended the bodybuilders. He learned of the men’s eagerness for photographs of themselves and, convincing his mother to surrender her parlor as a studio, offered free prints in exchange for modeling.

  • Archival Practice and Gay Historical Access in the Work of Blade
    UC Irvine UC Irvine Previously Published Works Title Archival Practice and Gay Historical Access in the Work of Blade Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2fb1q5qv Author Freibert, Finley Publication Date 2019-11-26 eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Archival Practice and Gay Historical Access in the Work of Blade 11/27/19, 3)56 PM Archival Practice and Gay Historical Access in the Work of Blade https://www.artdiscourse.net/blade/ Page 2 of 10 Archival Practice and Gay Historical Access in the Work of Blade 11/27/19, 3)56 PM Finley Freibert The issue of access is key to archival practice and also to gay cultural history. In his seminal visual study of a century of gay cultural production, Thomas Waugh states, “In a society organized around the visible, any cultural minority denied access to the dominant discourses of power will access or invent image-making technology and will create its own alternative images” (31; emphasis added). Waugh’s quote underscores how the production of images is facilitated by discursive and technological access but might also be read for its implications on the issue of access broadly construed. In short, the facilitation of access to cultural products (whether new or historical) is a key strategy in minority cultural production. The emphasis on access can be usefully extended to the preservation of gay cultural products; preservation demands not just a momentary facilitation of access, but the maintaining of perpetual access through processes of retrospective recirculation. The archival practice of the gay artist Blade—born Carlyle Kneeland Bate (November 29, 1916—June 27, 1989)—can be recovered as a key example of the coordination of access to gay history.

They include examinations of LGBTQ community, civil rights, the law, health, art and artists, commerce, the military, sports and leisure, and sex, love, and relationships. HISTORICAL LANDMARKS AND LANDSCAPES19 OF LGBTQ LAW Marc Stein The American historical landscape is filled with sites where people who engaged in same-sex sex and transgressed gender binaries struggled to survive and thrive. In these locations, “sinners,” “deviants,” and “perverts” often viewed law as oppressive. Immigrants, poor people, and people of color who violated sex and gender norms had multiple reasons for seeing law as implicated in the construction and reconstruction of social hierarchies.
