AllTogether sets out to convey the individual stories of the artists. At the same time, the exhibition locates parallels, interactions, and influences between Tom of Finland Foundation, Tom’s aesthetic impact, and the community of artists that have formed throughout the years around them. The selection of works considers and shows the treatment of sexuality throughout decades: from the years of censorship, the sexual revolution, the subsequent HIV/AIDS epidemic, and the explosion of information – the expressions have varied between hypermasculine TOM’s Men and dandyish self assertiveness and the motifs featured orgiastic celebration and diabolical queerness. The exhibition also highlights the historical context and the queer experience from midcentury to today, where erotic arts, the intimate encounter of art and pornography, is still navigating between the art world and gay subcultures. In AllTogether, the love of freedom transcends gender and sexuality and allows the elevation of the erotic to high art. –Sini Rinne-Kanto, Curator of The Community
