General Idea: AA Bronson, Felix Partz, Jorge Zontal. White AIDS #5. 1993. Acrylic gesso on line and screenprint on paper.
For twenty-five years, the collective General Idea made poignant critiques of the media, popular culture, and the art world. In 1987 they appropriated the design of Robert Indiana's iconic LOVE paintings from the 1960s, re-configuring the text to read "AIDS." To create visibility, they reproduced this logo in a range of media, from posters and sculptures to wallpaper and stamps that were displayed in art institutions and on billboards and subways throughout the United States and Europe. Here "AIDS" is faintly rendered, replicating the silence that shrouded the disease and offering a somber reflection on the epidemic that one year later would cause the death of both Partz and Zontal.

Throughout the 1970s, Jimmy DeSana created theatrical, often comic photographs related to his sexual S-M experiences.
Like other artists in his circle, such as Laurie Simmons and AA Bronson, he parodied advertising and fashion photography, as well as the disciplinary nature of heteronormativity and consumerism in the United States. He eventually published some of these photographs in his first book, Submission (1980), which included an introduction by the punk icon William Burroughs.
The photographs in this series typically feature nude, masked individuals eccentrically interacting with domestic interiors and objects. DeSana staged most images in his studio or the homes of friends and family. He used his signature lighting to create a heightened sense of drama and horror, calling attention to the images’ artifice. DeSana later observed: “I was trying to push sexuality to the limit. As long as I could come up with an idea that related to bizarre sexuality and still make an interesting statement about a product, the photo was successful for me.”
