Tom of Finland Foundation presents in flagrante delicto: textile, Polaroids & experiments by Michael Espinoza, plus a contemporary textile exhibition featuring work by Lisa Auerbach, Aubrey Longley Cook, Nathan Vincent, Faire Faircloth, Greg Climer, the Radical Sewing Club, Ellen Schinderman, Rubén Esparza, as well as works from the Foundation’s collections.

 

While Artist-in-Residence, Michael Espinoza used the backdrop of TOM House, the people who form a community there, and inspiration from the Tom of Finland Foundation Archives to make the new works in flagrante dilecto. They also met inspiring fellow textile artists whose work has been gathered with selections from the Foundation’s Archive. Attendees will see additional works from Michael’s recent solo exhibition Instant Gratification as well as experimental new work derived from the Sex and Grief Journal. After brief remarks, enjoy drinks, make-outs, and a dip into Pleasure Park.

“This group show arose out of the impulse to say “you should show at TOM house!” to every artist I met in LA. I narrowed this impulse to prioritize fiber art which I believe creates an interesting dialogue with my work. This show includes artists who have inspired me for years; I am in astonishment that they are here. I think you will be able to see why.” -Michael Espinoza
