Tab Hunter was one of the most popular pinup boys of Hollywood back in the 50s. Young girls from all around the country dreamed of him; and yet there was a fact they did not know: the handsome actor preferred being with men in his private life away from cameras and photographs. Director of “Vito” which was screened in the second year of QueerFest, Jeffrey Schwarz drags us into the private life of Tab Hunter in this intimate documentary and discloses the unwritten rules of Hollywood during a certain period of time. As Hunter shares with us many of his secrets including the renowned persons that he had a relationship with as well as how they hid the fact that he was gay within the studio system, Schwarz in the meantime manages to delve into this curious material without sensationalizing it.

Each memory tells an intimate story; each collection presents us with the reality of containing an intimate story as well. The collection is akin to a whole in which many memories and stories of the artist, the viewer, and the collector are brought together. At the heart of a collection is memory, nurtured from the past and projecting into the future.

How can the future be imagined by looking at a collection or an archive? The lasting quality of ceramics allows us to ponder how the future might be remembered through a ceramics collection, since they render conceivable time eternal.
