Science Fiction Exhibit at USC Fisher Museum of Art
Sci-fi, Magick, Queer L.A.: Sexual Science and the Imagi-Nation, a new science fiction exhibit, opens August 22, 2024 at the USC Fisher Museum of Art in Los Angeles, CA.
The exhibit focuses on:
…Los Angeles from the late 1930s through 1960s and looks both forward and backward to follow the lives of writers, publishers, and early sci-fi enthusiasts, including progressive communities such as the LA Science Fantasy Society, the Ordo Templi Orientis at the Agape Lodge, and ONE Inc. Spanning fandom, aerospace research, queer history, and the occult, Sexual Science and the Imagi-Nation reveals how artists, scientists, and visionary thinkers like Jim Kepner, Lisa Ben, Margaret Brundage, Morris Scott Dollens, Marjorie Cameron, Renate Druks, Curtis Harrington, and Kenneth Anger worked together to envision and create a world of their own making through films, photographs, music, illustrations, costumes, and writing.
The exhibition comes with support from Getty through its PST ART: Art & Science initiative, and runs through November 23, 2024. For more information, see the USC Fisher Museum of Art website.
