Hugo Fernandes and Joy Scopa "Becoming"
Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art
This event has ended.
Hugo Fernandes:
New York based Hugo Fernandes is showing images from his "Intimate Strangers," a series about the momentary intimacy between anonymous men. The subjects are photographed in real locations, disrobed and vulnerable, recreating the moment after sex with a stranger. Classic portraiture style combated by dramatic lighting creates an electricity between the photographer and subject.
Joy Scopa:
Los Angeles based Joy Scopa exhibits work from "Getting the Girl", a series of self-portraits where she re-enacts scenes from classic films such as Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, and The Outsiders. By becoming the leading male heart throb, she discusses how the silver screen helped shape her ideas about gender roles and how to get the girl.
These larger then life, never-before-seen images, will stay on exhibition 24 hours a day, viewable from the exterior of the gallery at street level as part of the ongoing window series curated by Cora Lambert bringing the work of LGBTQ artists to a public domain tackling issues of sex, gender, identity, pop culture and more.
