City of Wounded Boys & Sexual Warriors Photograph Exhibit | SF

Submitted by the Event Organizer

The Center for Sex and Culture and Mark I Chester studio will co-host a ground breaking show, “City of Wounded Boys & Sexual Warriors, a 38 year retrospective of the photographs of San Francisco gay radical sex photographer Mark I Chester”, during the month of September 2015. The exhibition is timed to coincide with the artist’s 65th birthday and the community’s annual celebration of leather sexuality at the Folsom St. Fair.
Mark I Chester has created a dark explicit photographic diary that documents his life in San Francisco’s sexual underground from the late 1970s to the present. Mark’s work captures these tumultuous times, politically, socially and sexually, through personal portraiture that crosses the normally exclusive photographic genres of fine art portraiture, social documentary photography and sexually explicit art. This is an unusually personal, sexual, confrontational, devastating (parts are a response to the AIDS crisis) and full of pleasure that has chronicled the history in San Francisco’s gay and leather sexual underground as well as serving as a journal for Chester.
