Tainted: Christopher Lefler and the Queer Censorship Chill

Tainted: Christopher Lefler and the Queer Censorship Chill
- Artist: Maureen Bradley
- Year: 1996
- Duration: 28:00
- Country: Canada
In a 1993 art exhibit at the University of Saskatchewan, Christopher Lefler created an installation essentially outing the Lieutenant Governor of that province. As a result, Lefler s show was closed, his artwork seized, his scholarship revoked, and he was expelled. TAINTED is not, however, about Ôouting . It attempts instead to chart and comment upon some of the reactions to Lefler s controversial and much maligned work. TAINTED attempts to raise the questions of power, privilege, and privacy that have been foreclosed in the aftermath of these events.
