Podcast fetch class not defined. Berndt Arell: Curating Tom of Finland.’]
Tom of Finland is a name that doesn’t need much introduction thanks to his now legendary drawings of hyper-masculine gay men. Once an illegal underground superstar, now considered a national treasure by many, his works have been shown all around the world and his story was made into a feature film in 2017. We are very proud to have just opened the world premiere of his latest exhibition called The Darkroom, which is a collection of photographs, taken by Tom of Finland himself, used as an inspiration for his drawings. This podcast is with Berndt Arell, the curator of the exhibition and the man who found the images.
