General Idea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia General Idea was a collective of three Canadian artists, Felix Partz, Jorge Zontal and AA Bronson, who were active from 1969 to 1994. General Idea's work inhabited and subverted forms of popular and media culture, including beauty pageants, boutiques, television talk shows, trade fair pavilions and media. General Idea has been featured in the Paris, Sydney, Sao Paulo and Venice Biennales, as well as Documenta (1982). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/General_Idea   (296 words)

General Idea Internationally celebrated artist collaborative General Idea (active 1969-1994) generated an enormous body of work in media ranging from video, performance and publishing to painting, sculpture and installation. General Idea focused its creative energies from the outset on understanding pop culture, and was interested in how the artist, the creative process, the museum, the media and the audience interact to form culture. From 1970 to 1978, General Idea created performances and installations centred on the construct of the beauty pageant as a simulacrum and critique of the art world. thecanadianencyclopedia.com /index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&Params=A1ARTA0009593   (439 words)

GENERAL IDEA General Idea's work is an unending martyrology of all those who have refused to worship the god of unification, who perversely maintain their continuity with the polymorphous theatre of the pre-Thalesian past of humanity and the polymorphous theatre of its future. You are General Idea, evidence and surety of retribalized consciousness, whose planetary coinage is gossip, the anecdote, mythology and rite: evidence and surety of the future. General Idea's vision of glamour as a strategy of transcendence replaces Oscar Wilde's 'importance of being earnest' with Daphne Marlatt's 'importance of being seen', as the last ethical demand before ethics itself is displaced by sheerly sensuous appeal as the final authority for human existence. www.ccca.ca /c/writing/m/mays/mays001t.html   (7036 words)

General Idea has ceased operations since the deaths of Jorge Zontal and Felix Partz in 1994, so the once-prolific output of unlimited edition multiples and publications is no longer replaceable at will. It became General Idea’s main outlet for their interest in language, as well as a powerful means of networking for artists. home.att.net /~artarchives/tonegeneralidea2.html   (2546 words)

General Idea Editions - Traveling Exhibition Information   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29) General Idea perfected the principle of inhabitation of the forms of popular and media culture (the boutique, “Life” magazine, beauty pageants, etc.), and of bending these to their own needs. General Idea editions are not just a commercial product, that is, secondary or even subordinated manifestations of more important original works. General Idea’s deliberate blurring of design and art, and art and life-style, can provide a historical context to contemporary debates concerning the relation between art, design, and architecture.  In addition, the exhibition responds specifically to the recently renewed, vigorous interest in conceptual art and strategies of “dematerialization” by a younger generation of artists, internationally. www.utm.utoronto.ca /services/gallery/genidea/GI.htm   (609 words)

General Idea Editions General Idea was formed by Jorge Zontal, Felix Partz and AA Bronson, three Toronto artists who, in 1969, joined forces to merge their personal destinies and artistic identities into a collective-based practice. General Idea both embraced and critiqued the corporate model at a time when such actions were virtually prohibited in the realm of high art. General Idea Editions: 1967-1995 was organized by the Blackwood Gallery (UTM) with the financial assistance of the Ontario Arts Council, the Canada Council for the Arts and the Andy Warhol Foundation. www.calstatela.edu /univ/ppa/newsrel/generalidea.htm   (747 words)

village voice > news > On Edge by C. Carr Writing about General Idea never focuses on the bond the artists had, probably because the work was never about their relationship, despite the constant self-portraiture. General Idea staged just two actual pageants, in 1970 and '71, but claimed that they had crowned two queens previously, in secret ceremonies. Almost until the end, General Idea was both excavating the pavilion's ruins and designing its rooms: an armory lined with chenille crests (but no weapons), a cocktail lounge, a night school, a stable for their poodles. www.villagevoice.com /issues/0325/carr.php   (1246 words)

Lilian Tone | General Idea | Bitter Pills General Idea began operations in Toronto around 1968, a time when the stereotype of the artist as individual genius was forcefully being put into question. During the eighteen years preceding the AlDS-related projects General Idea began in 1987— among them the installations that are the subject of this exhibition—they painstakingly built a complex mythological edifice that allowed them to internalize as well as to comment upon the art world. General Idea's notion of image as virus comes from William Burroughs and originally appeared in FILE Megazine in 1973. home.att.net /~artarchives/tonegeneralidea.html   (2454 words)

CAST: Access to the General Curriculum for Students with Disabilities: A Brief Legal Interpretation Since the general curriculum is defined as the same as that established for students without disabilities, IEP goals should be aligned, as appropriate to the needs of the child, with State and district curriculum standards. Generally, an accommodation is a curricular, environmental, or testing adaptation that does not fundamentally alter the general curriculum, lower standards, or change the construct being measured on a test. IDEA '97 further requires that specific information regarding the use of the supplementary aids and services, accommodations, modifications, or supports be included in the IEP. www.cast.org /publications/ncac/ncac_accesslegal.html   (3276 words)

Wikipedia:Contributing FAQ - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A general rule of thumb is that an edit that corrects spelling or formatting, performs minor rearrangements of text, or tweaks only a few words, should generally be flagged as a "minor edit". General topics can use any one of the variants, but should generally strive to be consistent within an article. Machine translation is useful for obtaining the general idea of a text in an unfamiliar language, but it produces poor translations and should not be used on its own. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Wikipedia:Contributing_FAQ   (3316 words)

NOVA | Einstein's Big Idea | Relativity (Lightman Essay) | PBS The key idea of general relativity, called the equivalence principle, is that gravity pulling in one direction is completely equivalent to an acceleration in the opposite direction. Many of the predictions of general relativity, such as the bending of starlight by gravity and a tiny shift in the orbit of the planet Mercury, have been quantitatively confirmed by experiment. General relativity may be the biggest leap of the scientific imagination in history. www.pbs.org /wgbh/nova/einstein/relativity   (1248 words)

CAST: Access to the General Curriculum for Students with Disabilities: A Brief for Parents and Teachers Under IDEA '97, students with disabilities have a right to be involved in and progress in the general curriculum. Under IDEA '97, a student's IEP must state how the student's disability affects his or her involvement in and progress in the general curriculum and must contain measurable annual goals (including benchmarks or short-term objectives) that address how the student will be involved in and progress in the general curriculum. In order to help align IEP goals with the general curriculum, IDEA '97 also requires that the student's regular education teacher (if the student is, or may be, participating in the regular education environment), as well as a representative from the district who is knowledgeable about the general curriculum, be members of the IEP team. www.cast.org /publications/ncac/ncac_accessparents.html   (2533 words)

Working P&A Draft on IDEA Reauthorization - General Distribution Document - 4/18/02 The IDEA should mandate federal and SEA monitoring that is based on verifiable data; focuses on a limited number of items that will improve outcomes for students; and includes capacity building and effective sanctions. The general and special education systems (including teacher preparation and educational practice in schools) must be connected more successfully, as the current divide between them impedes systemic reform and the educational progress of all students. The IDEA Child find requirements must mandate that districts identify students in need of surrogate parents, and that surrogate parents be appointed for children entitled to surrogate parents under current law, within 10 days of actual or constructive notice that no parent is available for the child. www.cesa7.k12.wi.us /SPED/issues-2002IDEA/napas.htm   (2453 words)

The enduring ephemera of general idea: an ambitious 30-year survey assembles prints, posters, photo works, banners and ... During the 1980s, General Idea turned the larger part of its effort to the AIDS disaster, adapting the "viral logic" of the simulacrum, a concept they took from writer William S. Burroughs, to the production of multiples. With nearly 200 objects, "General Idea: Editions, 1967-1995" is the first show since "General Idea's Fin de Siecle" (which originated at the Wurttembergischer Kunstverein in Stuttgart and toured internationally in 1992-93) to gather so substantial a number of the trio's works.

General Idea - Biography General Idea's subjects came from mass culture's consumerism, celebrity, glamour, and from the art world. A shift came in 1977 with the staged destruction of the fictional 1984 Miss General Idea Pavilion, a key element of the project. In the late 1980s, General Idea launched their AIDS logo based on Robert Indiana's Love painting from the late 1960s. cybermuse.gallery.ca /cybermuse/docs/bio_artistid1989_e.jsp   (539 words)

General Idea Editions - Andy Warhol Museum - Absolutearts.com As Bronson explains in the catalogue General Idea Editions 1967-1995, the collective “emerged in the aftermath of the Paris riots, from the detritus of hippie communes, underground newspapers, radical education, Happenings, love-ins, Marshall McLuhan, and the International Situationists. Masters of appropriation, General Idea bent popular icons to their own needs, transforming bastions of Americana such as LIFE Magazine and the Miss America Pageant, into vehicles for subverting the culture’s reigning values. To this day, General Idea’s work remains acutely relevant for younger artists, not only as a model for collaboration, but also for the articulations of queer identity and the imaginative formation of alternative communities. www.absolutearts.com /cgi-bin/news/arts-news-elaborate.cgi?output_number=20&find=7931   (713 words)

Robert Graham on Proudhon The General Idea of the Revolution in the Nineteenth Century is one of the classics of anarchist literature.[1] Written in the aftermath of the 1848 French Revolution, it sets forth a libertarian alternative to the Jacobinism which at that time still dominated the republican and revolutionary movements in France. Thus, it is the general idea of Proudhon’s revolution, as it were, and not his specific proposals and criticisms, which remains relevant today. In General Idea of the Revolution, it is the principle of association conceived as an end in itself, rather than as a necessary means to individual liberty, which is the focus of Proudhon’s criticisms. dwardmac.pitzer.edu /ANARCHIST_ARCHIVES/proudhon/grahamproudhon.html   (10125 words)
