Last chance to see Tom of Finland at Fotografiska in Stockholm.
Swelling muscles and genitals, extremely masculine and erotically confident men who enjoy sex together – Tom of Finland's drawings leave no-one unaffected. The photographs he took of friends and partners, to use as inspiration and reference-pictures for his world-famous homoerotic drawings, are now exhibited for the first time at Fotografiska. Curated by Berndt Arell, in cooperation with Fotografiska's exhibition producer Jessica Jarl, The Darkroom is an exciting study in artist Tom of Finland's (born Touko Laaksonen) life and work-process – something that originally took place in dark rooms. This year it's 100 years since he was born, and once again there are forces trying to relegate homosexual desire into dark closets.
