What’s on at the AGO

The AGO has a number of interesting exhibitions currently running, including Haute Culture – General Idea, which runs until January 12.

General Idea was founded in Toronto in 1969 by Felix Partz, Jorge Zontal and AA Bronson. The collective interrogated media image culture through now legendary projects like File magazine, as well as paintings, installations, sculptures, mail art, photographs, videos, ephemera, TV programs and even a beauty pageant. The group’s transgressive concepts and provocative imagery challenged social power structures and traditional modes of artistic creation in ever-shifting ways, until Partz and Zontal’s untimely deaths from AIDS-related causes in 1994.

Also: Chagall and the Russian Avant Garde previews for members on October 16 and 17th.
