Steve Reinke is an artist and writer who was born in the Ottawa Valley (Eganville) in 1963 and educated at York U and NSCAD. A queer Nietzschean, Reinke is best known for monologue-based video essays. He lives in Chicago and teaches at Northwestern. His work is represented by Galerie Isabella Bortolozzi, Berlin. myrectumisnotagrave.com
LOMAA’s Queer Frontiers critically reflects on Canada’s 50th-anniversary celebration of the purported “decriminalization” of homosexuality in the country. Serving as a counter to the state revelries, LOMAA will host 8 artists, artist duos, or curators who have established practices post-legislation and remain on the frontiers of Canadian queer media. This project centres queer narratives and praxis as a means to interrogate historical representation and continue fortifying queer futures within this country.
