"Portal 2 starts with a murder. The exhibition responds to oral history research by Kevin Allen: in 1979, a man making homophobic and violent advances was attacked and killed by a pair of men-who-have-sex-with-men cruising Central Memorial Park in Moh'kinsstis (Calgary, Alberta) one night. Silver jacket is a facsimile of a found newspaper article reporting on the event. Found at the scene of the murder was a silver bomber jacket.

Growing up, I often read newspaper headlines about men-who-have-sex-with-men and gay people being assaulted, murdered, or dying by suicide. I had never heard of a "gay basher," to use a vernacular term, being murdered by the people he threatened, demeaned, or killed, and I only learned of this event a few years ago. As an adult queer, did this history make sense, make me feel safer, justified, or emboldened?" - Mark Clintberg

« Portal 2 commence par un meurtre. L'exposition fait écho à une recherche d'histoire orale menée par Kevin Allen : en 1979, un homme faisant des avances homophobes et violentes a été attaqué et tué par deux hommes-qui-ont-du-sexe-avec-des-hommes qui se promenaient une nuit dans le Central Memorial Park de Moh'kinsstis (Calgary, Alberta). Silver jacket est un fac-similé d'un article de journal trouvé relatant l'événement. Une veste de bombardier argentée a été trouvée sur la scène du meurtre.

En grandissant, j'ai souvent lu des titres de journaux sur des hommes-qui-ont-des-relations-sexuelles-avec-des hommes et des gais qui ont été agressés, assassinés ou qui se sont suicidés. Je n'avais jamais entendu parler d'un "gay basher", pour utiliser un terme vernaculaire de l'anglais, assassiné par les personnes qu'il menaçait, rabaissait ou tuait, et je n'ai appris cet événement qu'il y a quelques années. En tant qu'adulte homosexuel, cette histoire avait-elle un sens, me faisait-elle me sentir plus en sécurité, justifié ou enhardi ? » - MC
