Reception Saturday 1 December
6:00 - 9:00 pm

Jess Scott is an artist living in L.A. working in paintings, drawings, and sometimes ceramics, sculptures, and repurposed objects for installation. Scott was featured in the Tom of Finland survey in Mike Kelley’s Mobile Homestead / MOCAD in Detroit (2018) and was subsequently inspired by the idea of the TOM House in a Mike Home, extending the concept to a Jess Room in TOM House. Jess Room will therefore aim to create a both contained and influenced world of Scott’s work situated in context of Tom of Finland as a contemporarily-engaged legacy. Scott’s sculptures of Loiter Daddies, various ceramic objects, paintings, reimagined novels, paper lanterns, and other objects of home and art studio will furnish TOM House’s ground floor for a two day exhibition.

Getting to TOM House

Our bus stop is Sunset/Echo Park. We are serviced by Metro lines 4/704 and 2/302. Also the 603 to Alvarado/Sunset.

Continue on Sunset Boulevard to Laveta Terrace, then up the short hill and up the Grand Stairs until Laveta Terrace levels out and another 1/2 block. TOM House is on your left. The House is only a 0.3 mile walk from the bus stop.

1421 Laveta Terrace is on a residential street, so we recommend using Uber or Lyft.
