Curated by Aimee Goguen and Olivia Taussig these films navigate landscape and the human form with an exploratory and immediate gaze. \n\n\n\nThe Summer Screening Series runs every Wednesday at 9:00PM from May 3-August 31  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nArtist bios: \n\n\n\nAimee Goguen (b. 1982) is a moving-image artist and object-maker based in Los Angeles. Her work has long dealt with themes of abjection and the grotesque in relation to the body and sexuality. Her video work has been included in such anthologies as The Oxford Companion to Queer Cinema\, reviewed by William J. Simmons and Dodie Bellamy’s The Pink Place. Goguen co-curated Afterglow: Summer Video Series with Harry Dodge. She co-curated All The Reasons with Mariah Garnett at REDCAT\, Los Angeles\, and Lick\, Stick\, Leak with Suzy Halajian at 2220 Theatre\, Los Angeles.

SUMMARY:Antoni Hervás - the awakening
DESCRIPTION:May 12 – June 4\, 2023 –– Wednesday through Sunday\, 12 – 6pm \n\n\n\nOpening: May 12\, 6 – 10pm \n\n\n\nCuero Amanecer: a celebration of queer clubs\, sexy dancing\, leather and fun! \n\n\n\nMay 18\, 9pm till L8 \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nthe awakening is a project by Barcelona-based artist Antoni Hervás\, curated by Clara López Menéndez. The exhibition will be accompanied by a 3 month long residency at the Tom of Finland Foundation (April-June). The show has been realized with the inestimable help and advice of Valeria Tizol Vivas. \n\n\n\nthe awakening departs from Hervás’ initiative to come to Los Angeles in Spring 2022 to research the beginnings of what is called “leather culture.” Interested in the murky origins of these aesthetics and performative codes of queer/gay life\, Hervás wanted to look into the origins of this community in Southern California. Especially how the drawings and life of Tom of Finland intersected in the dissemination of this aesthetic worldwide. Hervás looked into the places where Finland found his earliest inspiration and how\, through Finland’s fantasy\, this nowadays widely expanded gender identity and set of practices came to be. Hervás is particularly curious about how the specific forms of this subculture emerged\, becoming recognizable codes for those who knew how to see them\, while hiding in plain sight by taking from widely spread popular culture tropes––the cowboy\, the motorcycle gang\, the various men in uniform––and utilizing an exalted form of high masculinity as drag and cover. \n\n\n\nIn addition Hervás also dove into Los Angeles’s contemporary underground queer culture\, interested in putting together the less recorded inspirational wells of this history: the laidback working class clandestine gay clubs were men of all social and racialized backgrounds meet to find each other on the dancefloor and forget the rigid social strictures that demand heteronormative performances of them––at their jobs\, in the street\, with their families. These spaces represent for Hervás the heterogenous fertile grounds that inspired artists like Tom of Finland\, who then crystalized in their drawings a more whitewashed vision of these opaque origins. For Hervás\, this whitewashing obscures how in the club lines get blurred and difference dances in joy instead of splitting apart.  \n\n\n\nThe club is a fundamental space for gay life and culture\, one that is currently endangered by real estate speculation and the changes in habits catalyzed by the use of cruising apps. The show’s work is therefore partially a celebration of gay clubs and bars as a needed refuge and crucial space for queer becomings.   \n\n\n\nIn conjunction with the exhibition at HRLA\, an installation of drawings and materials from the Tom of Finland Archive will take place offsite at the Tom of Finland Foundation. These pieces have been selected by Hervás for being inspirational sources and key findings during his archival research for the project in 2022. This installation will run until the end of June (exact date TBD). \n\n\n\nWith the support of the PICE AC/E Mobility Grants and the California Institute of the Arts.  \n\n\n\nThank you Adam Otto Lutz\, Amy Chao\, Christine Yerie Lee\, Wes Larios for their help in making this fantasy happen!

SUMMARY:Greetings Friends
DESCRIPTION:Greetings Friends is a full-length essay film made by Pau Pescador\, titled after a Disney Studio produced film. In 1941\, the United States government created the Office of Inter-American Affairs out of concern for the potential Nazi infiltration in Latin America. They hired Walt Disney to produce animated cartoons\, most of which focused upon Latin America as subject\, some of theses videos took on health issues\, such as malaria\, water treatment and tuberculosis as well as produced animated characters as visual representations for these countries. In Pescador’s 2017 essay film\, she reconsiders these cartoons and their relationship between cultural diplomacy and colonialism. She examines some of the regions that Walt Disney visited\, and attempts to understand how Disney iconography is still being culturally appropriated today. \n\n\n\nGreeting Friends is presented as part of the Summer Screening Series\, which runs every Wednesday at 9:00PM from May 3rd-August 31st.
