“ "LONG", "Long distance relationship", and "Long term relationship" are expressions of close relations with loved ones, but also my ongoing relationship with the event that inspired my exhibition "Portal", and with hate, violence, and aggression directed at non-straight people. Growing up in a small town on the Prairies, I was threatened, belittled, and demeaned verbally and physically for my perceived sexuality and my femme gestures and speech. I recognize that as a White person, although I regularly felt unsafe, I experienced forms of privileged protection not experienced by non-White, non-straight people in the region. Although many people are keen to celebrate the progress made for non-heteronormative rights and freedoms in Canada, to this day I still feel uneasy when I walk alone after twilight in my own neighbourhood in Calgary because of the reek of compulsive heterosexuality and macho bravado. What is more, despite the frustrations and violence of my context, I also feel the thrill and sense the lustre of non-straight histories, presents, and futures. "Other rooms" is based on a quotation from trans woman director Lana Wachowski, one of the creators of the Matrix universe, as well as part of the title of a book by flamboyant homosexual author Truman Capote, "Other Voices, Other Rooms" (1948); both thinkers, in their own way, celebrate gender and sexuality as shifting in time and space, and they suggest the radical potential of other ways of being." - MC

"...so that this world that we imagine in this room might be used to gain access to other rooms, to other worlds previously unimaginable." - Lana Wachowski

« LONG, Long distance relationship et Long term relationship sont des expressions de relations étroites avec des êtres chers, mais aussi de ma relation permanente avec cet événement historique, ainsi qu'avec la haine, la violence et l'agression envers les personnes non hétérosexuelles. En grandissant dans une petite ville des Prairies, j'ai été menacé, dénigré et rabaissé verbalement et physiquement en raison de la perception qu'on avait de ma sexualité, de mes gestes et de mes paroles féminines. Je reconnais qu'en tant que personne blanche, bien que je me sois régulièrement senti en danger, j'ai bénéficié de formes de protection privilégiée que n'ont pas connues les personnes non blanches et non hétérosexuelles de la région. Bien que de nombreuses personnes soient enthousiastes à l'idée de célébrer les progrès réalisés en matière de droits et de libertés non hétéro-normatifs au Canada, je me sens toujours mal à l'aise lorsque je marche seul après le crépuscule dans mon propre quartier à Calgary, en raison de du climat d'hétérosexualité compulsive et de bravade machiste. Qui plus est, malgré les frustrations et la violence de mon contexte, je ressens un frisson d'excitation et perçois l'éclat des passés, des présents et des futurs non hétérosexuels. » - MC
