Author: Edited with Frederic Bonnet. Jean-Christophe Ammann, AA Bronson, Louise Dompierre, Elisabeth Lebovici, David Moos.Now in paperback, this volume presents an overview of the legendary Canadian collective, General Idea.

It is richly illustrated with documents and reproductions of key projects realised by General Idea from 1969 to 1994.Their intermingling of reality and fiction took the form of a transgressive, often parodic take on art and society. Paintings, installations, sculptures, photographs, videos, magazines and TV programs: General Idea's is an authentically multimedia oeuvre that has lost nothing of its freshness. ISBN 9783037644805.
