FAKING IT
General Idea, Test Tube, 28:15 min, 1979
The Canadian artist collective General Idea — AA
Bronson, Felix Partz and Jorge Zontal — forged a unique
conceptual practice that deployed parody and irony to
critique the artworld and popular media culture.
Produced by De Appel, Amsterdam, while General
Idea was in residence there, Test Tube was conceived
as a program for television. Presented under the brand
“The Color Bar Lounge,” a cocktail bar in the mythical
1984 Miss General Idea Pavilion, the program is a
hybrid of popular television formats, including talk
show, soap opera, news magazine, and infomercial.
Additional artist TBA
