Heterologias

00:49:28,507 --> 00:49:30,873
- No haremos planes de fuga.
- øPor quÈ no?

659
00:49:30,943 --> 00:49:34,640
Porque cada nueva persona
que involucramos en esto es un riesgo m·s.

660
00:49:34,813 --> 00:49:37,748
Para salvarnos,
confiemos en que el plan tendr· Èxito.

661
00:49:37,816 --> 00:49:40,785
Pero aunque la bomba tenga Èxito,
existe la posibilidad...

662
00:49:40,852 --> 00:49:45,186
de que el pueblo se vuelva contra nosotros.
Que nos considere asesinos.

663
00:49:45,257 --> 00:49:48,488
Quiz·s la gente se escandalice tanto
que pierda el discernimiento.

664
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:52,963
Hace unos dÌas, Miguel, te negaste a apostar
sobre la excavaciÛn porque dijiste...

665
00:49:53,265 --> 00:49:57,599
que era inmoral especular
con algo relacionado con los asesinatos.

666
00:49:57,736 --> 00:50:00,933
Bien, no especulemos
con el discernimiento del pueblo.

667
00:50:01,807 --> 00:50:03,604
Eso es m·s inmoral todavÌa.

668
00:50:04,209 --> 00:50:07,406
Huir sÌ serÌa una verg¸enza.

669
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:10,908
No tenemos derecho
a hacer lo que hacemos...

670
00:50:10,983 --> 00:50:13,315
si no estamos dispuestos
a responder con la vida.

John Huston (1906-1987), We Were Strangers (1949)

"The more fucked up and surreal the world, demonstrably, becomes, the less David Lynch films become feverish, inscrutable, schizoid texts and, more straight forwardly, just the order of the day.

The first time I saw Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, in late August of 1992, I was in the midst of a quasi-nervous breakdown resulting from the messy end to a three year love relationship coinciding with a feature film stalled in post-production with no completion funding in sight. I went alone to see the movie on a sweltering summer afternoon in a wife-beater and tiny short-shorts at the now defunct Cineplex at the Eaton's Centre in Toronto, a slew of tiny, shoebox theatres in the dank basement of a shopping mall.

The air-conditioning blasting, I sat shivering with my bare arms around my bare legs, identifying intensely with Laura Palmer, played by Sheryl Lee. I hadn't related to a character so strongly since Diane Keaton burned a hole in the screen as Theresa Dunn in Looking For Mr. Goodbar fifteen years earlier. There's something about Hollywood actresses playing promiscuous, burned-out drug addicts in female-identified movies that drives me, as a gay man, wild with passionate desire.

Enter Terrence Koh. Mr. Koh and I had often talked about our love of the movie Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, arguing over who was more Laura Palmer, him or me. We also expressed a mutual fascination with the Bang Bang Bar from the same movie, situated, as it is, on Canada-US border. As fellow Canadians who often find ourselves striding that border, one foot in the more demure, polite, and wishy-washy Canadian identity, one foot in the aggressive, hard, and confidant American identity, we appreciate the metaphorical notion of walking across the floor of a bar and switching identities as easily as segueing from beer to hard liquor.

We also began talking about collaborating on an installation of degenerate art consisting of horizontal glory holes, envisioning cocks coming down from the ceiling and up from the floor like stalactites and stalagmites. After all, why should glory holes be restricted to the vertical axis? That's strictly for the birds – and Republican Senators.

Combining these two ideas, Blame Canada was born. After all, the US makes a habit of blaming Canada for a variety of nasty things: a porous border, lax immigration policies, Communist tendencies, multiculturalism, gayness (gay marriage is legal in Canada), Celine Dion… so why not give them what they want: a scapegoat , a whipping boy , a lapdog, a masochist , a Judas, a boot-licker, a cocksucker, a punk . In fact, why not give them two - Terrence Koh and Bruce LaBruce – two of the biggest faggots this side of Elton John.

BLAME CANADA will be on view at Peres Projects (26 Schlesische Strasse, Berlin) in our new first floor exhibition hall, through Nov. 10, 2007. Hours: Tuesday through Saturday, from 11:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M and by appointment."
