with the imagery offered from the Tom of Finland Foundation as well as
discarded books, records, and other ephemera from Lyeberry’s collection.
These objects will be donated to the Foundation for the purpose of buying
needed preservation materials for their archives. Participants are
encouraged to bring any techniques or materials they would like to share.
ABOUT TOM OF FINLAND FOUNDATION: In 1984, the non-profit Tom of Finland
Foundation was established by Durk Dehner and his friend Touko Laaksonen
a.k.a. Tom of Finland. As Tom had established worldwide recognition as the
master of homo-erotic art, the Foundation's original purpose was to
preserve his vast catalog of work. Several years later the scope was
widened to offer a safe haven for all erotic art in response to rampant
discrimination against art that portrayed sexual behavior or generated a
sexual response. Today the Foundation continues in its efforts of
educating the public as to the cultural merits of erotic art and in
promoting healthier, more tolerant attitudes about sexuality. For more
information please visit www.tomoffinlandfoundation.org
ABOUT LYEBERRY: Lyeberry is a mobile information swap where participants
come together to read, share, and/or trade a myriad of objects, ideas, and
experiences with each other. Organized by Akina Cox and Joseph Imhauser,
Lyeberry’s main focus is to personalize the distribution of knowledge by
holding events focused on the sharing of the documented and undocumented,
performed and published, temporal and permanent. Past events have been
open video screening, software swaps, performance shares, and potlucks.
