Press releases
The Gropius Bau presents the most comprehensive retrospective in Germany of General Idea, the Toronto-founded artist group who blurred the lines between art, media and creative activism.
On the occasion of World AIDS day on 1 December 2023, the Gropius Bau and CIRCA present VideoVirus, a powerful 3 minute-long digital animation by AA Bronson and General Idea. From 27 November to 3 December VideoVirus will screen every hour at 23 minutes past the hour on a 104 square-metre screen on Berlin’s iconic Ku’dam.
