Heels, masks, heraldry and metamorphosed genitalia: drawings from the legendary queer collective’s group meetings
Focusing on one specific and lesser-known aspect of the manifold practice of General Idea, the Canadian collective founded in Toronto in 1969 by Felix Partz, Jorge Zontal and AA Bronson, this volume highlights their drawing practice, with generous insight into 125 carefully selected drawings realized between 1985 and 1993―the period the collective spent in New York. The publication’s design is inspired by George Grosz’s legendary Ecce Homo album (1922–23) because, as Bronson says, “the anti-Semitism in Grosz’s narrative is mirrored by the homophobia in ours.”
Investigating motifs in the group’s multimedia works, such as poodles, stiletto heels, masks, heraldry and metamorphosed genitalia, these drawings were primarily produced by Zontal during group meetings. However, given General Idea’s mandate for coauthorship, as well as the circumstances under which they were executed, the drawings are considered to be collaborative. The repetition of motifs follows a viral logic akin to General Idea’s own penchant for mass reproduction. Together, these drawings are a fascinating window into General Idea’s unique notions of collaboration and coauthorship, and their singular and innovative approach to art and drawing.

Fondé à Toronto en 1969 par Felix Partz, Jorge Zontal – tous deux décédés en 1994 – et AA Bronson, le collectif General Idea se dote d'un nom générique lui permettant de se « libérer de la tyrannie du génie individuel ». Il élabore une œuvre complexe où s'entremêlent réel et fiction au service d'une relecture mordante, transgressive et souvent parodique du monde de l'art et de la société. General Idea part d'une conception de l'image vue tel un virus infiltrant le réel, s'en empare afin de l'habiter et d'en modifier le contenu. Il élabore ainsi une version alternative de la réalité.
Entre peintures et installations, sculptures et photographies, vidéos, magazines et programme télévisé, General Idea a produit une œuvre authentiquement multimédia qui n'a rien perdu de sa fraîcheur et apparaît aujourd'hui comme anticipatrice de certaines évolutions du monde de l'art actuel, visionnaire d'une société en pleine mutation.
