Curated by Agustín Pérez Rubio, the exhibition surveys the artistic trajectory of General Idea (A Latin America Canadian collective), touching upon topics such as archaeology, history, sex, race, illness, self-representation, and the myth of the group itself, a recurring subject of their production.
General Idea were pioneers in incorporating the issue of AIDS in art. In 1987 they took Robert Indiana’s work LOVE and transformed it into AIDS to create a logo that was used in many of their works.
