SUMMARY:The Wild and the Weeds
DESCRIPTION:Curated by McKenna Gray and The ArQuives Curatorial Committee \nCentering Hanlan’s Point Beach’s history and queer ecology\, The Wild and the Weeds proposes alternative ways of looking at and engaging with this queer site. The exhibition explores ecological consideration\, co-creation\, and kinship\, forging pathways for understanding queer past and imagining queer future. \nFeaturing artists Morris Fox\, Morgan Sears-Williams\, and Patrick Stochmal\, alongside material from The ArQuives’ collection\, Hanlan’s Point Beach is positioned as more than the site of the 1971 Gay Day Picnic\, addressing contemporary concerns of the queer community regarding gentrification and public space. Engaging with topics of public/private\, cruising\, decay\, and the erosion of the beach\, the artists provide a context through which we can view ecological entanglements with queer memory and identity. \nOpening reception: May 29 from 6 to 8pm \nArtist Roundtable (online): June 10 from 6 to 8pm \nOpen times and dates:\nFridays 4pm-8pm\nSaturdays 11am-3pm\nSundays 11am-3pm*\nClosed June 26\, 27\, 28 \nAppointments and curatorial tours available\, email curatorial@arquives.ca \n*Sundays are masked mandatory hours \nImage: Morgan Sears-Williams \nPlan your visit to The ArQuives

SUMMARY:Hustler White: 30th Anniversary!
DESCRIPTION:Director: Bruce LaBruce\, Rick Castro Run Time: 80 min. Format: DCP Release Year: 1996 \nStarring: Bruce LaBruce\, Ivar Johnson\, Kevin Kramer\, Kevin P. Scott\, Tony Ward \n\nReminiscent of Sunset Boulevard\, the action is transposed from the silver screen’s old backlots to contemporary male prostitution and the pornographic industry. \nSleaze Factory and Desire in Motion are teaming up for a sizzlingly sexy 30th anniversary screening of Bruce LaBruce’s HUSTLER WHITE preceded by Kalil Haddad’s THE TAKING OF JORDAN (ALL AMERICAN BOY). \nWhen lovesick anthropologist Jürgen Anger (Bruce LaBruce) – no relation to Kenneth – arrives in Los Angeles to research hustling\, he falls head over heels for the gorgeously hunky Montgomery Ward (Tony Ward). HUSTLER WHITE is a strange and wonderful odyssey that pays tribute to the opulence of classic Hollywood cinema\, trading the glamour of the silver screen for a raw\, rugged tour of the sex work and porn industries of the 1990s. The film is a beautifully-shot concoction of romance and sexual desire that\, as queer film historian and programmer Liz Purchell notes\, is “practically a[n Agnès] Varda film in how LaBruce and [Rick] Castro weave a fictional story into their ethnographic exploration of Santa Monica’s kink and hustling scenes.” -JACOB CREPEAULT \nThis screening will include a post-screening discussion with filmmakers Bruce LaBruce and Kalil Haddad moderated by Weird Alice and a pre-show performance by drag king Randy Roy.  \nThis screening is supported by Toronto Arts Council and The ArQuives\, who will be in the Paradise lobby showcasing historical materials surrounding queer film in Toronto as well as materials from LaBruce’s work. \nDoors Open 30 Minutes Before Showtime.
