‘FXLK PLAY: Mythmaking, Devotion, and Mischief’.featuring work from over 60 queer artists from around the world @Tom of Finland Foundation

PHUC LE Rich,

This September, QUEERGURU will be making tracks to West Hollywood’s Plummer Park as they are presenting Tom of Finland Foundation’s first-ever group exhibition FXLK PLAY: Mythmaking, Devotion, and Mischief.featuring work from over 60 queer artists from around the world.

Edward Cella, CEO of the Tom of Finland Foundation, said. “Tom of Finland created a visual mythology that has shaped queer consciousness for generations. The artists in this show respond to that myth while forging their own vision. Devotion describes the deep bond between artist, archive, and community. And then there’s mischief, because these artists are disruptors. They provoke dialogue and reorient how we see the world.”

As the name suggests, FXLK PLAY explores themes central to queer experience: imagination, intimacy, and irreverence.
  • “House of Gods” mines the Foundation’s massive archive, which includes over 1,000 works by Tom and 8,000 by other queer artists.
  • “Pleasure Park” explores how desire shapes physical space, drawing inspiration from TOM House’s gardens and intimate moments.
  • “Skeletons in the Closet” tackles taboo, kink, race, and gender – featuring a listening station with reflections from past residents.
  • “DOM TOM” honors Tom of Finland’s legacy of erotic resistance, showcasing contemporary artists pushing those boundaries further.

The exhibition, which runs through October 12, transforms the gallery into a lush, immersive environment inspired by the archives and aesthetics of the legendary artist Tom of Finland. Curated by Jamison Edgar, FXLK PLAY captures the rebellious, sensual, and spiritual essence of queer creativsorship and rollback of queer and creative freedoms. This exhibition is both a celebration and a defiant act—amplifying artists who are shaping more liberated and inclusive future.
