This slim but potent collection of photographs from Dean Sameshima is divided into three chapters that lead seamlessly into one another: the sunbleached, unadorned cement facades of sex clubs make way for the rumpled, sweat-soaked sheets of the empty beds inside, which then open naturally onto the open shirts of the “Modern Boys” whom the artist has cropped just below the eyes. Bruce Hainley’s essay, “Jock, Model, Building, Bed,” uses Sameshima’s photographs as a launching pad for musings on objects of his own desire and the spaces and places of that desire.

Young Men at Play!, Vol. 2 is the second catalog from Dean Sameshima’s 2005 exhibition at Taka Ishii Gallery in Tokyo. The images — of young men cavorting naked — are re-photographed from amateur magazines that circulated illegally in the U.S. in the 1960s. The catalog itself constitutes an outlaw act given existing censorship laws in Japan and the current conservative political climate in the United States. The work is motivated, in part, by the artist’s will to assert and examine the continued existence of underground culture as one amongst multiple “gay cultures”.
