Est-ce que ça vous dérange? Does This Bother You?, a collaborative exhibition I worked on, opened at RATS9 Galerie on October 11th and ran through October 26th.  In addition to the opening I gave an artist talk with my collaborator on October 15th to a full house and it will be available as a video on the exhibition website shortly.  A digital version of the exhibition catalog featuring writing by journalist Matthew Hays and art historian Erin Silver is available here.

The short experimental Super 8mm film that I created in collaboration with Richard E.

In mid-October I presented my paper “Revisiting AIDS and Its Metaphors” at the Universities Art Association of Canada‘s annual conference in Banff, Alberta.  The paper, which reviews the work of queer artists that framed the pre-protease inhibitor days of the AIDS crisis as a form of genocide, focuses in detail on the short film By Any Means Necessary by James Wentzy.  The paper has since been submitted to a number of academic journals and with any luck will be available publicly in the first half of 2014.

Against Equality: Queer Revolution, Not Mere Inclusion, an anthology of all the combined writing from our first three books along with a new introduction from the collective, is on schedule to hit the streets in March 2014.  This book will save the AE collective time, money, and work by alleviating our need to keep three books in print as opposed to just one.

Lastly, I’ve been one of the co-coordinators of a fundraising effort to support the production of a film by LGBTQ identified Russians about the impact of the anti-gay propaganda bill recently signed into law by Putin.  This project differs from similar media attention in that the documentary film Children 404 is being made by Russian queers as opposed to other outsiders from the West.  You can check out the fundraising campaign that runs through November 15th here.
