Abstract

A compendious overview of the revered and subversive queer Canadian collectivePublished on the occasion of the huge retrospective General Idea at the National Gallery of Canada, Ontario, and the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam (2022?2023), this volume constitutes the most comprehensive source on the Canadian collective General Idea, founded in Toronto in 1969 by Felix Partz, Jorge Zontal, and AA Bronson, and active until the death of Partz and Zontal in 1994.The volume is arranged in three parts: I. Performances and Actions; II. In the Streets; III. In the Showroom. The first two parts focus on works and methods that extend beyond the traditional museum exhibition, documenting ephemeral, time-based, and even disposable works. The third part includes a plates section offering a near-complete visual survey of General Idea?s practice. Facing-page comparative images show works as they appeared in historical installations and other relevant contexts. These three sections correspond broadly to the collective?s development: from performances, actions, pageants, and other practices (1969?1978), through works engaging with mass media formats such as the magazine, broadcast television, and video (1972?1980s), moving finally to works conceived for galleries and museums (1985?1994).bron : https://jrp-editions.com/art/books/monographs-artists-books/general-idea/
