Xperimental Eros
ES ES-OVNI CTX-S013-SS007-0110 · Item · 2007

Xperimental Eros invokes a shimmering fantasia of celluloid sensuality for the pleasure of our largest sex organ - the brain. Using exotic tropes and erotic footage from the world's oldest genre, this program of ardent auteurs spin grindhouse dross into arthouse gold with perverse panache. Be it tales of sexual obsession, rejected letters to Penthouse Forum, or the Mr. Nude Trucker Contest of 1976, no subject is taboo... nor above deconstruction.

Tough Guise

While the social construction of femininity has been widely examined, the dominant role of masculinity has until recently remained largely invisible. Tough Guise examines the relationship between pop-cultural imagery and the social construction of masculine identities in the U.S. at the dawn of the 21st century.

Third Known Nest
ES ES-OVNI CTX-S008-SS005-0003 · Item · 1999
Part of Non-Identified Video Observatory (OVNI)

Third Known Nest brings together Kalin's witty and poignant "video diary" pieces with new interstitial material that thematically links the works with cogent literary quotes. Merging elements of music video, text, and intimate Super 8 "home movies," Kalin has created a personal and cultural chronicle of the 1990s. Tracing a trajectory that moves from stylized AIDS activist spots to alternative music videos and poems of love and loss, Kalin' video journal culminates in a performative self-portrait.

It is an erotic response on the Helms Law, the American government's refusal to subsidize the prevention and awareness on AIDS. Kalin writes: "They are lost to vision altogether acts as erotic retaliation on legislation such as the Supreme Court sodomy ruling — declaring the private bedroom as open target for the State — or the Helms Amendment — the U.S government's refusal to fund explicit AIDS prevention information for gay men, lesbians and IV drug users. An attempt to reclaim eroticism and to address the contradictions of sexuality and romance in the face of a monolithic and culturally compulsory heterosexuality, They are lost to vision altogether finds queer history where it can and invents the rest." 2 Mostra de Vídeo Independent de Barcelona 1994.
