  • The Estate of General Idea: Ziggurat, 2017, Courtesy of Mitchell-Innes and Nash
    Installation view of The Estate of General Idea: Ziggurat, 2017, Courtesy of Mitchell-Innes and Nash. © General Idea. The Estate of General Idea (1969-1994) had their first exhibition with the Mitchell-Innes & Nash Gallery on view in Chelsea through January 13, featuring several “ziggurat” paintings from the late 1960s, alongside works on paper, photographs and ephemera that highlight the central importance of the ziggurat form in the rich practice of General Idea. It got me thinking about the unique Canadian trio’s sumptuous praxis and how it evolved from humble roots in the underground of the early 1970s to its sophisticated position atop the contemporary art world of today. One could say that the ziggurat form is a perfect metaphor for a staircase of their own making that they ascended with grace and elegance, which is true. But they also had to aggressively lacerate and burn their way to the top, armed with real fire, an acerbic wit and a penchant for knowing where to apply pressure. Even the tragic loss of two thirds of their members along the way did not deter their rise, making the unlikely climb all the more heroic.

The ancient architectural structure of steps leading up to a temple symbolizes a link between humans and the gods and can be found in cultures ranging from Mesopotamia to the Aztecs to the Navajos.

  • AA Bronson Radical Asshole '…The Use of Irony Was Itself Serious
    AA Bronson Radical Asshole ‘…the use of irony was itself serious…’ – AA Bronson on General Idea, in The Confession of AA Bronson (2011) AA Bronson thinks his butt is revolutionary. That may be the case – I haven’t tried it – but I’m not quoting him fairly. He thinks all assholes are revolutionary. In this he joins proto-queer thinker Guy Hocquenghem, who argued that the liberation of anal pleasure from shame was one way to remake society as a whole. Homosexuality is dangerous, he claimed in Homosexual Desire (1972), because it shows that eroticism is not tied to reproduction. Male receptivity further disturbs the masculine/feminine, active/passive oppositions which uphold patriarchal authority and by extension marriage or other systems of ownership. This undoing of gendered mastery finds echoes in Bronson’s earlier work as a member of General Idea. From their mock beauty pageants in which the artist becomes feminised commodity, to their pose as pampered poodles, they mercilessly satirised the singular (straight male) artistic genius as a myth of the media and marketplace. But the deaths of his partners and collaborators Jorge Zontal and Felix Partz from AIDS in 1994, and his reversion to working alone, caused not only a personal but an artistic crisis for Bronson. How could he represent himself without betraying the group’s critique of the artist as gifted individual? While his most recent work has sought to memorialise those lost to the pandemic and histories of homophobic persecution, his decision to summon the queerly departed by posing, like Joseph Beuys, as a shaman, appears to abandon the principles of GI.

There is no real end to mythological analysis, no hidden unity to be grasped once the breaking-down process has been completed.

  • MAUREEN PALEY. Press Release AA BRONSON + GENERAL IDEA 30 September
    MAUREEN PALEY. press release AA BRONSON + GENERAL IDEA 30 September – 11 November 2018 private view: Sunday 30 September 5:30 – 7:30 pm The exhibition marks fifty years since AA Bronson, Felix Partz and Jorge Zontal first met in 1968, initiating their collaboration as the Canadian collective General Idea the following year. Over the course of twenty five years (1969-1994), they lived and worked together to produce the living artwork of their being together, undertaking over 100 solo exhibitions, countless group shows and temporary public art projects. They were known for their magazine FILE (1972-1989), their unrelenting production of numerous multiples, and their early involvement in punk, queer theory and AIDS activism. The celebrated publication FILE appropriated the design of LIFE magazine; some of the most radical artists and collectives of the period contributed to FILE, among them Art & Language, writer William Burroughs, and bands such as Talking Heads and The Residents. The adoption of the existing mass-market format of LIFE magazine set up a sustained interest in the possibility of using ‘found formats’ as ‘hosts’ for their ideas. From 1987 through 1994, working primarily in New York City, General Idea’s work addressed the AIDS crisis and produced their best known work to date - Imagevirus. Reappropriating Robert Indiana’s work LOVE - substituting, in the same visual arrangement and colour composition, the letters L-O-V-E with A-I-D-S – they used the mechanism of viral transmission to investigate the term as both word and image. The series took the form of paintings, sculptures, postage stamps, posters and magazine covers.

  • Paul O'neill and Aa Bronson
    PAU L O ’ N E I L L A N D AA B R on S on New York, 2004–2006 PAUL: Maybe we could start by tracing the beginning of the history of General Idea? AA: General Idea happened by accident. It was the late ‘60s in Toronto and our friend Mimi (who was Felix Partz’s girlfriend) found this old house, 78 Gerrard Street West, and convinced us to move in together to save rent. There were about eight of us and we were all more or less straight out of school. We moved in to the house, which at one point had been turned into a shop. It was the late ‘60s, the pop era, there were flowers painted on the street, and now the street had more or less died down and the action had moved to some other part of town. We moved into this rather forlorn house, which had a store window punched into the living room; we were all unemployed, mostly artists, and we were a little bored. We began rummaging through the garbage of the various neighboring businesses, and we began to AA Bronson (right) and Mark Krayenhoff (left) assemble fake stores in our store window.

  • The Artist As a Work-In-Progress: General Idea and the Construction of Collective Identity
    Forum for Modern Language Studies Vol. 48,No.4, doi: 10.1093/fmls/cqs022 THE ARTIST AS A WORK-IN-PROGRESS: GENERAL IDEA AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF COLLECTIVE IDENTITY DEBORAH BARKUN ABSTRACT Downloaded from In its twenty-five years of activity (1969–1994), the art collective General Idea developed a complex artistic mythology and identity that permitted it to produce a substantial corpus of work while confronting challenges provoked by evolving social relationships and, eventually, HIV/AIDS. The group main- tained a cohesive partnership, a ‘collaborative body’ that subsumed individual members’ identities within a collective whole. This paper analyses the concep- http://fmls.oxfordjournals.org/ tual projects and artists’ statements of the group’s first decade, many of which belong to the domain of Correspondence and Mail Art. It argues that these textual and performative artworks strategically constructed an elaborate collect- ive identity. They equally functioned as a vehicle through which to develop methods and strategies of collaborative practice, reflecting debates about authorship such as those theorized contemporaneously by Roland Barthes and Michel Foucault. Keywords: General Idea; collaboration; authorship; collectivity; Correspondence Art; Conceptual Art; Mail Art; manifesto; performance; gender; sexuality by guest on October 16, 2012 IN 1969,CANADIAN ARTISTS AA Bronson (b. Michael Tims), Jorge Zontal (b. Slobodan Saia-Levi) and Felix Partz (b. Ron Gabe) formed a multimedia art collective named General Idea (Figure 1).1 General Idea’s formation was less deliberate than organic, a process evoked by the biological metaphors the group later used to characterize its collaboration, and the concepts and dissemination of its work.

    THE JEAN-NOËL HERLIN ARCHIVE PROJECT Jean-Noël Herlin New York City 2005 Table of Contents Introduction i Individual artists and performers, collaborators, and groups 1 Individual artists and performers, collaborators, and groups. Selections A-D 77 Group events and clippings by title 109 Group events without title / Organizations 129 Periodicals 149 Introduction In the context of my activity as an antiquarian bookseller I began in 1973 to acquire exhibition invitations/announcements and poster/mailers on painting, sculpture, drawing and prints, performance, and video. I was motivated by the quasi-neglect in which these ephemeral primary sources in art history were held by American commercial channels, and the project to create a database towards the bibliographic recording of largely ignored material. Documentary value and thinness were my only criteria of inclusion. Sources of material were random. Material was acquired as funds could be diverted from my bookshop. With the rapid increase in number and diversity of sources, my initial concept evolved from a documentary to a study archive project on international visual and performing arts, reflecting the appearance of new media and art making/producing practices, globalization, the blurring of lines between high and low, and the challenges to originality and quality as authoritative criteria of classification and appreciation. In addition to painting, sculpture, drawing and prints, performance and video, the Jean-Noël Herlin Archive Project includes material on architecture, design, caricature, comics, animation, mail art, music, dance, theater, photography, film, textiles and the arts of fire. It also contains material on galleries, collectors, museums, foundations, alternative spaces, and clubs.
