Haute Culture : General Idea — Une rétrospective, 1969-1994
Past: February 11 → May 29, 2011
Founded in Toronto in 1969 by Felix Partz, Jorge Zontal, and AA Bronson, the trio adopted a generic identity that “freed it from the tyranny of individual genius”. Their complex intermingling of reality and fiction took the form of a scathing, transgressive and often parodic take on art and society.
