period of the mid-1980s to early 1990s saw the first years of the AIDS crisis and rise of AIDS activism, as well as the ascendancy of the identity and theory of "queer."... Beginning with a curatorial essay by Jon Davies illustrated with original drawings by Toronto-based artist Logan MacDonald, this publication thoroughly documents the exhibition and expands it through texts by artists Sharon Hayes and Zoe Leonard, and visual projects by artists Jimmy Robert and Ulrike Muller.'
